Best to speak with Progreen, but Glyphosate based weedkillers work well, as does Asulox (but restrictions apply with that particular product.
You need your pesticides tickets if applying professionally.
Perfect I'll look at asulox, I have my pa tickets. 👍
If you're wanting a quick result, glyphosate based will work, but expect some regrowth, triclopyr (Timbrel or Grazon) can be hit and miss but if it works its good! Asulox takes a year or so to work, but provided its dry for a day after application, and you get the timing right, it should work well.
Grazon has been hit and miss for myself, but will look at asulox.
Thanks
Hi I may be wrong but I think glphosate was originally made to kill bracken and goarse
Glyphosate works well, provided it is applied just after senescence. Prior to senescence, bracken will grow back. After senescence, it will take the glyphosate into the tuber/rhizome and stop virtually all growth the following season. You will get a few stragglers from plants underneath the main canopy that didn't get any herbicide. I do not know where you are but senescence in this area tends to occur towards the end of August - basically it coincides with the first 'air' frost.
Asulox is expensive requires extra paper work and often has extra restrictions on use - great for whole hillsides but not really for gardens. I have never treated bracken in a garden situation that couldn't be successfully cleared with glyphosate. This is definitely a situation of rtfm to get the correct dose and make sure the herbicide is licensed for the field of use. Oh and don't forget a tyvek suit as you could be walking through 7 foot high stands of the stuff you have just sprayed.
I have some Braken to treat and wondered what I was going to do about getting Asulox. Which is why I haven't done anything. I will try some Glyphosate and see what happens.
