Roundup Tree Stump Weedkiller, Super Concentrate 250 ml

Product Information

In the case of newly cut stumps, a stump-removal herbicide that travels to the roots is necessary to stop resprouting. Depending on the product, results may appear within 6 to 8 weeks. The stump itself, however, may not decompose for another few months.

Legally enforceable conditions of use are imposed on the way products can be applied, to ensure the public are not exposed to levels of pesticides that would harm health or have unacceptable effects on the environment. It is important that users (or those who cause or permit others to use pesticides) not only comply with the authorised conditions of use but also use products in a responsible and sustainable fashion. The perfect choice for both avid and new gardeners, this herbicide is easy to use with visible results; it will start to work immediately, destroying the cells of the unwanted plant within hours. Glyphosate kills plants by interfering with the synthesis of proteins produced only by plants. Glyphosate is also effective against a wide range of woody plant species. Glyphosate-containing products used by commercial applicators contain 30.8%–39.9% glyphosate (acid) and are available in 1 gal. and larger containers from agricultural supply stores and pesticide distributors. Glyphosate-containing products with these same concentrations or more dilute, ready-to-use products are available to homeowners in garden supply stores. Glyphosate is not volatile and has little potential for absorption by plant roots. Aminopyralid

It may take a couple of months for Resolva to have a visible effect on tree stumps. It doesn’t cause them to rot, but stops new growth appearing. The stumps start to look drier and may change colour as well. Digging out the stump still required some effort as the wood isn’t softened.

There are times when cutting down a tree is the only option, whether we like it or not. This is especially the case if the tree is diseased or posing a safety risk. The RHS believes that avoiding pests, diseases and weeds by good practice in cultivation methods, cultivar selection, garden hygiene and encouraging or introducing natural enemies, should be the first line of control. If chemical controls are used, they should be used only in a minimal and highly targeted manner. To ensure proper control of woody plants after cut stump treatments, monitor stumps for sign of resprouts after initial treatment, and retreat as necessary. A number of cases in 2016 suggest some sources of growing media (e.g. growbags) may be contaminated with hormonal weedkiller, most likely from composted green waste containing clopyralid. See section below on how to run a germination test if you suspect a compost may be a source of weedkiller residues. Glyphosate This unique weedkiller moves systemically within the plant to provide effective control of unwanted vegetation. Glyphosate, the active substance, is translocated to the growing points in the roots and prevents them from re-emerging.Cut Surface Treatments: This technique involves creating a pathway through the bark so that herbicide can be introduced into the plant's vascular tissue. Start by making a series of downward cuts around the circumference of the tree with an ax or hatchet, leaving the frill (cut section of bark) connected to the tree. Immediately apply the selected herbicide into the cuts. Avoid spring applications when sap flowing from the wound will prevent good absorption. To keep new tree sprouts from regrowing, it is often necessary to remove the stump. A stump also poses a tripping hazard and can wreak havoc on the blades of a mower. Q.
