How to Control:
- Dig out small plants, removing all stem fragments. Dispose of at a refuse transfer station or burn or bury deeply.
- Cut stump application: Cut low and treat stump with (200ml glyphosate/1L water) or (1g metsulfuron/1L water) or (100ml triclopyr/1L water).
- Spray all year round (100ml glyphosate + 20ml penetrant/10L water) or (2g metsulfuron + 10ml penetrant/10L water).
Cut stems resprout. Follow up within 3-6 months to kill resprouted stems. Replant bare sites. Releatively easy to achieve control.
Caution: when using any herbicide or pesticide PLEASE READ THE LABEL THOROUGHLY to ensure that all instructions and safety requirements are followed.
