Protecting the environments in which we work is extremely important. Consequently, you have a responsibility to work to industry best practice and apply the pesticide products safely and legally.

Investigate the impact of the different chemical thinning treatments and ring barking on subsequent infection from the wood rotting disease Heterobasidion annosum, and in addition the efficacy of the treatments for killing standing Japanese larch and Scots pine. Simply drill the required amount of holes with the set depth drill bit, insert the Ecoplug Max ® into the hole and then hit with a hammer to ensure the plug finishes flush with the top of the stump. Ecoplugs, conventional herbicide application to stem cuts and manual ring barking all allowed infection to some extent of Heterobasidion annosum, a disease that can cause serious and long term damage to current and future conifer crops. However, although it was not possible to make a direct comparison in our work, the Heterobasidion annosum infection that results from using Ecoplugs is unlikely to be significantly higher than the infection that typically occurs after conventional thinning operations due to accidental stem damage. If an entire stand is going to be killed, then felling and treating stumps with the prophylactic fungicides urea or PG Suspension ® (0.5% w/v Phlebiopsis gigantea), will present a lower risk of infection from Heterobasidion annosum than any method of chemically killing standing trees.

Ecoplug contains granular glyphosate to kill the whole root system of targeted trees with no effect on surrounding trees. Each Ecoplug contains water soluble granules containing 720g/kg glyphosate, which when hit into a stump is released into the Xylem & Phloem of the tree. This kills the tree stump therefore controlling tree stump re-growth. Ecoplugs may be supplied with white-coloured or purple-coloured plastic sheaths - no difference in efficacy Natural surfaces not intended to bear vegetation, permeable surfaces overlying soil, hard surfaces, all situations. Remember, the safe use of pesticides is not just about buying the products you use. Such as herbicides (weed killers). It is about the safe application of these products. To protect not only you but the environment in which you work. In particular to or near watercourses including dry ditches.

Supports the requirements of the Water Framework Directive to prevent contamination of waterways with pesticides.Carry out a time and method study of the relative cost and efficiency of the different chemical thinning and ring barking techniques. Ecoplug Max is a highly effective patented tree stump killer. Each plug contains 300mg of granular glyphosate herbicide. Once inserted and hammered in place, Ecoplug Max releases glyphosate through the sides directly into the tree stumps. The PA6pp Ecoplugs training course is ideal for those who need to control re-growth from felled tree stumps. If you have found your way here you have discovered that you need a different qualification to carry out Ecoplug treatments! The PA6pp Ecoplugs application unit will only enable you to carry out an application of Ecoplugs, not other handheld application methods. Step 4: Hit the Ecoplug with a hammer until the head is flush with the stump to push out the sides & release herbicide. Step 2: Drill 25-30mm deep & 13mm wide using the Ecoplug drill bit to control the depth (the Ecoplug drill bit has a stop plate at 30mm allowing precise depth control).
