Tree Stump Killer Glyphosate Plugs - Box of 100
SKU TCP131
Overview
This patented tree stump treatment system places glyphosate directly inside the stump, killing the root system and stopping regrowth. Each box contains 100 herbicide plugs.
Key Features
- Each plug holds 300mg of granular glyphosate, sealed inside the unit so it only contacts the target plant
- 95-100% efficacy on treated stumps, preventing regrowth
- 100% selective, so there is no risk of damage to neighbouring trees or vegetation
- Reduces the risk of the operator coming into contact with the chemical or of spillage
- No water needed for application, greatly cutting labour
- Can be used in all weather, all year round - most glyphosates have a much narrower application window
- Plugs mark the treated stumps, whereas liquid glyphosates need a marker dye
- Safe to transport loose; compact and needs very little storage space
- Better for the environment and wildlife
- Supports the Sustainable Use Directive (SUD) aim of minimising pesticide and herbicide use, and the Water Framework Directive to prevent pesticide contamination of waterways
- Considerably lowers tree-clearance costs by reducing the need for follow-up site visits
How it Works
The plugs are inserted into holes drilled in the stump with the dedicated plug drill bit and then hammered home. This forces the sides of the plug outwards, releasing the glyphosate into the phloem of the tree.
How to Use
- Fell the tree as close to ground level as possible.
- Drill a hole 25-30 mm deep and 13 mm wide using the dedicated plug drill bit, which has a stop plate at 30 mm for precise depth control.
- Insert a plug into the hole, orange end first. The top will stand about 10 mm proud of the surface.
- Hammer the plug until the head sits flush with the stump; this pushes out the sides and releases the herbicide.
