OPTIMUM USE of ECOPLUGâ MAX containing GLYPHOSATE

APPLICATION TECHNIQUE

STUMP TREATMENT

Start by drilling a hole with a 13 mm drill or use the special drill from ECOPLUG SWEDEN AB.  The hole should be 30-35 mm deep. It may be drilled from above or from the side. In drilling from above, it is important to place the hole as close to the bark as possible because the tree’s transport system is directly under the bark. In both methods you need to drill holes round the stump at intervals of 6-8 cm. If there are buttress roots, apply an ECOPLUG to each of them. Put an ECOPLUG in each hole and use a hammer to drive it in. Drive the ECOPLUG in completely so that its head seals the drilled hole, then the plug will open up in the hole.

For best results, stump treatment should be done not more than two days after felling. ECOPLUGs can be used in any weather at any time of the year.

 

TREE TREATMENT

Use the same technique as above, but trees need 1.5 times as many ECOPLUGs.

 

THE PLUG MUST NOT BE OPENED!
