Surefire Treeson - For the control of unwanted timber by stem injection or cut stump/brushcutter application and control of blackberry, gorse and harrisia cactus by foliage spray.

Key Features

• Dual Active Ingredients: Contains 200 g/L Triclopyr and 100 g/L Picloram, providing synergistic control over tough vegetation.
• Multiple Application Methods: Highly versatile; it can be applied via stem injection, cut stump, basal bark, frill application, or foliar spray.
• Selective Systemic Action: It is absorbed through leaves, stems, and roots, moving through the plant's vascular system to ensure complete kill of the entire specimen.
• Rainfastness: Becomes rainfast within 2 hours of application once the spray has dried.
  

Application Rate

• 500 ml to 2.5L of herbicide per 10L of Water

Details 

MIXING
Mix only with water. It will not mix with oil or diesel fuel. Only mix sufficient solution for immediate daily use and avoid storing.
A Stem Injection Application
Mix one part Surefire TREESON Herbicide with 4 parts clean water. Agitate well before commencing work. After use, clean equipment thoroughly and rinse several times with water.
B High VolUme Application
Half fill the spray unit with water, and add the required amount of Surefire TREESON Herbicide. Add the remaining water with the agitator running. If required, then add spray oils or wetters (surfactants).
Maintain mechanical or by-pass agitation in the spray tank during spraying.

APPLICATION
A Stem Injection Application
Waist Height Application
• To make an injection pocket at waist height, use a % length axe with a blade width of 5 to 7cm. The cut of injection must be through the bark and deep enough to place all the chemical in contact with the sap wood.
• The chemical must be applied immediately after the dose pocket is made. Apply chemical with a Phillips 5 mL vaccinator fitted with a tree injector kit which can be accurately calibrated. Set vaccinator to deliver 1 mL of herbicide mix.
• When treating regrowth less than the width of the axe, ensure chemical does not run out the sides of the cut, as reduced control will result. This can be overcome by using the corner of the axe to make the pocket in the stem or treating by cut stump application.

GROUND LEVEL APPLICATION
• To make an injection pocket at ground level, use a narrow blade axe, as described for waist height application, or a C.M.B. Engineering Tree Injector designed for this application method.
• When using the Tree Injector, make sure that the pump handle is held in whilst striking the tree, otherwise unnecessary strain will be placed on the pump and valve, and chemical will be ejected onto the bark. Use injector with groove in blade uppermost. Strike tree, cutting through bark to sapwood. Lower the upper end of the injector to open the cut, then move pump handle out and in
to inject the dose. A smooth action will give better results than a quick 'snapping' action.
• The chemical must be applied immediately after the dose pocket is made. 

B Cut Stump/Brushcutter Application
• Stems should be cut less than 10cm above the ground. Remove and treat the surface of any suckers present below the cut surface and ground level.
• Immediately apply Surefire TREESON Herbicide / water mixture liberally to the freshly cut stump by spraying the cut surface and sides of the stem.
• If cut surface is oily, add a 100% non-ionic surfactant (e.g BS-1000) at 100 mL/100 L water to improve penetration.
• When using a brushcutter with a herbicide attachment, read all safety and operating instructions in the brushcutter manual prior to use of the equipment.

C High Volume Spraying
Weeds need to be actively growing for herbicides to have optimum effect. In areas that have been bulldozed, slashed, burnt, ploughed or previously treated with chemical, wait until all regrowth has reached approximately 1 metre before treating.
• Thorough coverage of foliage to the point of run-off is essential, however, avoid excess spraying which is wasteful of chemical
