Welcome to the first crop crack of 2017. It is still possible to achieve excellent weed control for some weeks yet, in hedgerows, commercial forestry, ornamental plantings and recreation areas using Kerb Granules.
Season long control of grasses and most broad-leaved weeds is possible by applying Kerb Granules at this time of year. Kerb is a pre- and post-emergence residual herbicide for the control of annual and perennial grasses and a wide range of other weeds. Propyzamid the active ingredient in Kerb works by inhibiting cell division, disrupting the growth process and leading to eventual death of the weed.
Kerb Granules can be applied to all soil types, therefore allowing its use in many areas where weed control is needed. Kerb is the ideal herbicide for forestry and woodland (including farm forestry), ornamental shrubberies and rose beds, hedges, fence lines and gravel pathways. Where shrub beds are mulched Kerb Granules must be applied immediately prior to mulching if weeds are to be prevented from growing through the mulch. Kerb requires soil moisture for root uptake to take place. Kerb Granules are mobile in the soil profile and therefore the best results will be achieved when applying in cooler conditions, usually between October and February. If warm, dry conditions prevail after application then weed control may be reduced. Although Kerb Granules can be applied in all weather conditions, application to severely frozen ground should be avoided if there is any risk of surface run-off. Kerb Granules are non- irritant, non-sensitising and has no known bio-accumulation which gives you the confidence to use this product in areas open to the general public.
