Tree Planting & Protection<br />
Spiral Tree Guards<br />
Widely used to protect young trees (standards, seedlings, transplants, single stem<br />
hedge plant varieties) against damage from browsing animals such as rabbit, hare,<br />
sheep and roe deer.<br />
These low cost units are quick and simple to install, often without the need for<br />
additional tree stakes or support fastenings.<br />
A major advantage of Spiral Guards is their ability to grow with the tree as it matures,<br />
without risk of strangulation or having to remove them after establishment is achieved.<br />
Key features<br />
✳ Quick and simple installation<br />
✳ No fixing stakes or fastenings<br />
✳ Low unit cost system and low maintenance<br />
✳ Eliminates revisiting to remove from mature<br />
trees<br />
✳ Promote thickening for hedging applications<br />
✳ Aids growth in young trees<br />
✳ Main tree protection system in use since the<br />
1970s<br />
Spiral Tree Guards are manufactured from 100%<br />
recycled PVC (a long lasting outdoor plastic)<br />
providing at least 4 growing seasons of<br />
protection, even at high UV exposure levels. PVC<br />
ultimately breaks down through photo-degradation, which will not harm the earth<br />
around the tree plantation.<br />
Spiral tree guards have been used as the preferred method for hedge planting for many<br />
years. They offer the easiest, quickest and cheapest way of installing hedgerows and<br />
produce effective hedges with plenty of side and low growth.<br />
With of without ventilation holes? Experience shows that young trees develop more<br />
reliably with spirals that include Ventilation Holes. These reduce the effects of mildew<br />
and leaf burn, both of which stunt young tree growth. However, if the area is going to<br />
be regularly sprayed with any chemicals the ‘no holes’ option should be used.<br />
In areas not being sprayed, the use of a suppressant Weed Mat is recommended to<br />
reduce the use of chemicals and the potential for disease.<br />
Length of spiral 60cm - Rabbit; 75cm - Hare; 120cm - Sheep/Roe Deer on larger<br />
trees<br />
Diameter of spiral 38mm = whips and hedgerow planting, 50mm = standard and<br />
single stem trees and for improved growth rates, 65mm = low cost<br />
tree shelter applications such as broad leaves and some conifers<br />
Colour of spiral Aesthetic appearance – grey, white, brown<br />
Enhance growth – clear or green tint<br />
High UV exposure – white or grey<br />
Recover young trees with damaged lead shoot – clear or green tint<br />

Tree Planting & Protection<br />
Bamboo canes<br />
The ideal way to secure tree spirals quickly and efficiently. Canes are natural products<br />
subject to variability so please allow for this when ordering by anticipating a small<br />
percentage of breakages.<br />
Canes should be inserted to a depth of at least 30cm. When planting into cultivated or<br />
lighter soils, consider using a longer cane of improved stability. On windy sites it is<br />
recommended to use heavier canes for increased stability. Suitable for all tree spirals<br />
and Tubex Easywrap.<br />

Tree Protectors, Guards and Grilles<br />
On many urban and rural sites, newly planted trees need protection from vandalism,<br />
machinery and animals. Often wire mesh guards and other protection methods are not<br />
sufficient to effectively protect the tree. Tree guards are the ideal solution to protect semimature<br />
trees from harmful damage. Protection is offered to the most vulnerable area of<br />
the tree – the trunk. Guards can be used without grilles where preferred.<br />
Designed and manufactured to a high standard, the guards come with a galvanised<br />
finish as standard or high specification black polymer coated. Unique ‘drive-in’ feet<br />
locking system secures guards into the ground. Supplied in two halves, the guards are<br />
bolted together using corrosion resistant bolts supplied. Available in 40cm or 60cm<br />
diameter with matching grilles.<br />

Tubex Tree Shelters<br />
These provide a micro-climate for trees resulting in improved establishment and higher<br />
survival rates. This allows for the planting of smaller trees, which are cheaper and easier to<br />
source and, ultimately lead to trees with stronger root systems. Also, higher air moisture<br />
within the tree shelter reduces water stress and enables the plant to survive in dry or drought<br />
conditions.<br />
Tubex shelters are ‘nested’ for easy transportation and storage and thumb releaseable ties<br />
are pre-fitted for fast application (using a suitable size stake). Tubex shelters also provide<br />
protection in a flexible, efficient and cost effective way against animals, including rabbit,<br />
hare and deer, and also herbicide damage.<br />
For tougher jobs, providing a slightly wider diameter than the Standard, the Standard Plus<br />
comes in a range of heights from 1.2-1.8m.<br />
Tips: Choice of shelter height depends on wildlife present on site. Use quality stakes (canes<br />
will need replacing) inserted into the ground to 1/3rd of the stake height. Ensure the stake is<br />
below the flared rim at the top of the shelter. Using the shelter natural strength, push it lightly<br />
into the ground to remove gaps at the base.<br />
Height requirements: Rabbits – 0.6m; Hares – 0.75m; Muntjac Deer – 1.2m ; Fallow deer –<br />
1.5m; Red Deer – 1.8m.<br />

These shelters contain lower levels of UV stabilisers<br />
than the Standard trees shelters and will begin to<br />
break down over a shorter period. They offer reliable<br />
protection against rabbits and voles at 0.6m and<br />
hares at 0.75m, as well as providing herbicide<br />
protection and are suitable for slender plants such as<br />
used in hedging and small scale landscaping.<br />

Defender Tree Shelter<br />
Offering faster tree establishment and growth and<br />
increased survival rates and reduced maintenance.<br />
The square construction of the Defender-Pro enables<br />
‘flat-pack’ transportation, and the use of a stake<br />
directly into the shelter removes the need for a cable<br />
tie. Made from100% recyclable UV stabilised<br />
polypropylene, the shelter has a built-in radial top lip<br />
to minimise abrasion to the tree stem and a line of<br />
least resistance to ensure the shelter splits open as the<br />
girth of the tree increases.<br />
Harmless to the environment; durable twin-wall<br />
construction; estimated 5-7 year lifespan; ‘No-ties’<br />
securing system to the tree stake.<br />

Tree Stakes<br />
Sourced from both UK and overseas, these stakes have been carefully selected for<br />
quality and consistency.<br />
Softwood: Pressure tested to BS8417:2003 standards to provide long term protection<br />
against fungi and pests.<br />
Hardwood: Slightly stronger than softwood so less breakages likely.<br />
Both options offer a range of lengths and diameters to suit all shelter sizes and site<br />
conditions. Unless stated, all stakes are four pointed for ease of installation and are<br />
bundled in easy-to-carry quantities.<br />
NB: Stakes are natural products subject to natural variability; please allow for this when<br />
ordering by anticipating a small quantity of breakages, particularly with the smaller<br />
sizes.<br />
Stakes should be inserted at least 30cm in the ground; ensure top of stake is below rim<br />
of shelter to avoid tree abrasions; on windy sites select larger diameter for improved<br />
stability; when planting into lighter/cultivated soils, consider a longer stake for improved<br />
stability.<br />

Greenleaf Urban Tree Products<br />
Greenleaf is a well-established company, leading the urban tree planting market and<br />
are specialist in urban tree pit design and tree pit products that provide urban trees with<br />
the best opportunity to thrive. Urban trees face huge environmental problems and<br />
through extensive experience and research Greenleaf has developed a range of<br />
innovative solutions to meet these challenges<br />
Tree Pit irrigation<br />
Correct irrigation is vital for the healthy growth of trees and the main contributor to<br />
mortality rates of urban trees is drought stress. Water from tree irrigation is required for<br />
both the biochemical processes involved in photosynthesis, respiration and transport<br />
and, for mechanical support to leaf and stem tissues. Inadequate watering will result in<br />
loss of leaf turgor and a consequent reduction in new shoot extension and this will lead<br />
to die-back and potential loss of the tree.<br />
Root Rain Metro<br />
the most widely specified tree pit irrigation system in<br />
the UK and available in 4 sizes and 3 different cap<br />
configurations. Also available in contractor pack form<br />
for self-assembly.<br />
✳ Quick and easy to install<br />
✳ Extremely cost effective<br />
✳ Improved drought tolerance<br />
✳ Fast watering (60 litres/minute in porous soil)<br />
✳ Reduces water consumption by eliminating waste.<br />

Root Director<br />
Root Directors can protect paved surfaces by diverting<br />
roots downwards to allow them to safely establish<br />
without surface damage. Alternatively Root Barrier<br />
deflects the growing roots sufficiently to protect a<br />
standard pedestrian kerb line from surface rooting and<br />
pavement heave.<br />
✳ Deeper root system means greater drought<br />
tolerance and improved tree stability<br />
✳ Not vulnerable to de-icing salts, used extensively<br />
on foot and cycle paths<br />
✳ Protects pedestrian kerbs from root heave<br />
✳ Can be retro-fitted around recently planted trees<br />
✳ Protects trees during pavement re-instatement work<br />
Arboresin<br />
A resin bonded gravel that provides a hard-wearing,<br />
attractive, porous tree pit surface. Loose stones create<br />
a nuisance in pedestrian environments and the<br />
conventional paving of surfaces has the effect of<br />
creating an impervious cap over the tree pit.<br />
With a resin bonded gravel surface, stones are bound<br />
together and prevented from migrating beyond the tree<br />
pit area. Rotary pavement sweepers can easily run<br />
over resin bound surfacing without displacing the<br />
stones.<br />
✳ Resin bonded gravel allows free flow of air and water to the root zone<br />
✳ Will support light vehicular traffic<br />
✳ A choice of aggregate is available for different applications (please phone our sales<br />
line)<br />
✳ Avoids problems associated with loose gravel<br />
✳ Can be retrofitted around existing trees<br />
✳ COSHH: Hazard data sheets are supplied with each delivery and should be in<br />
operative’s possession<br />

Arborguy<br />
Tree Planting & Protection<br />
This tree guying system has many advantages over tree<br />
staking and is suitable for large root-balled trees. The rootball<br />
is held in position by driving three guying anchors into the<br />
base of the tree pit and then fastening a rachet strand and, if<br />
required, the system can be re-tensioned later.<br />
✳ Suitable for trees in both urban and rural environments<br />
✳ Effective and invisible alternative to tree staking<br />

Terram RootGuard Root Barrier<br />
Used to protect buildings, paths, pipes, cables etc from potential root growth damage.<br />
Depending on the application, and specifically whether water wants needs to pass through<br />
the product or not, there are two solutions:<br />

Tree Planting & Protection<br />
Impermeable: Terram RootGuard Plus which is a<br />
composite of Terram RootGuard and HDPE<br />
membrane for when no requirement for water to<br />
pass through the barrier. This product will provide<br />
the greatest protection.<br />
Permeable: When it is necessary to have a waterpermeable<br />
solution, e.g. surrounding land drains.<br />
Whilst permeable barriers may not provide the<br />
highest level of protection (see RootGuard above),<br />
they still provide some resistance.<br />
Terram RootGuard has high tensile strength and puncture resistance. Both products are<br />
chemically inert to natural soil conditions and resistant to biodegradation.<br />
Ecoplug Max<br />
The new effective way to solve a ‘growing’<br />
problem<br />
Each Ecoplug Max contains 300 mg of<br />
formulated glyphosate herbicide.<br />
Trees growing close to buildings, roads,<br />
powerlines, bridges, amenity areas and heritage<br />
sites can be a problem. Once the trees are felled,<br />
the stumps will sprout new growth unless treated.<br />
Ecoplug Max is a little ingenious plug that is<br />
inserted into a tree or a stump. The herbicide,<br />
enclosed within the plug, will kill off the entire root<br />
system but will have no effect on surrounding<br />
trees or vegetation and, will not affect people,<br />
animals or the wider environment.<br />
Ecoplug Max has a high efficacy rating of 95-<br />
100% and its selective method will reduce the use<br />
of chemicals by 90%, compared to traditional<br />
methods.<br />
How to Apply Ecoplug Max<br />
Step 1: Cut the tree as close to the ground as<br />
possible.<br />
Step 2: Drill into the stump using a 13mm wide<br />
drill bit. <strong>Rigby</strong> <strong>Taylor</strong> supply a special drill for this<br />
purpose that has a stop plate at 30mm allowing precise depth control.<br />
Step 3: Place an Ecoplug in the hole with the orange end first. The top will protrude by<br />
about 10mm.<br />
Step 4: Hit the Ecoplug with a hammer until the head is flush with the stump. The<br />
impact will to push out the sides of the plug in the stump and the herbicide is released.<br />
Used at any time of the year and in any weather conditions. The plugs once inserted are<br />
sealed into the sump preventing any herbicide movement outside the area treated.<br />
Effective on a wide range of tree species.<br />
Tree Species:<br />
Group 1. Alder, Aspen, Beech, Birch, Elm, Lime, Maple, Mountain Ash, Willow<br />
Group 2. Ash, Cherry, Birch, Cherry, Oak<br />
Group 3. Poplar, Rhododendron, Elder, Tree of Heaven<br />
The number of plugs required to control different species will vary and also depend on<br />
the stump diameter. Details are available on the <strong>Rigby</strong> <strong>Taylor</strong> website,<br />
www.rigbytaylor.com or on Freefone 0800 424 919<br />
Pack size: Box of 100 plugs<br />

Ground Protection & Groundcover<br />
Ground Reinforcement Grids<br />
Rite-Pave<br />
The Problem:<br />
Any area of ground, subject to pedestrian, animal or vehicular traffic, is subject to<br />
erosion of some description, the prevention of which requires some form of surface<br />
reinforcement. Traditionally, this has been done using concrete, tarmac or block paving.<br />
Without any form of reinforcement system. Surfaces can become rutted, boggy and<br />
slippery. All these conditions are not just unsightly but can be dangerous for all means<br />
of traffic.<br />
Traditional solutions are not environmentally friendly and contribute to the growing<br />
problem of urban hot spots, which cause concern to the ozone layer. All such systems<br />
require the implementation of extra drainage systems and are not necessarily compliant<br />
with Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS) regulations. These problems apply<br />
not just to traffic areas but parking areas, temporary access routes and rooftops, all of<br />
which are contributing to rising temperatures and increasing flood risk zones.<br />
The Solution:<br />
Rite-Pave reinforcement systems are designed for long term use, providing a porous<br />
substrate support system, which holds earth, grass or gravel.<br />
A reinforced porous surface retains water for gradual release to the drainage systems<br />
and absorbs heat more effectively. Another key benefit is that such surfaces can greatly<br />
enhance the appearance of any area and more frequently they are seeded with grass.<br />
Right-Pave<br />
(See our comprehensive range of landscaping grass seeds on page 18 of this<br />
brochure).<br />
This permeable system will significantly reduce heat reflection and help Sustainable<br />
Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS). Manufactured from 100% Recycled HDPE, Rite-Pave<br />
products are designed to easily join together to form a structure that can handle thermal<br />
expansion within itself. The design is also perfect for supporting healthy grass growth<br />
within the cell, which enhances the look of the finished installation.<br />

Grass Reinforcement Mesh<br />
The ideal product to protect grass against damage from pedestrians, the parking of light<br />
vehicles and access routes. The mesh is a tough, flexible, long lasting ‘grid’ used to<br />
permanently reinforce grassed areas, thereby preventing them from rutting and<br />
becoming muddy when used by vehicles and/or pedestrians.<br />
It is vital that the grass be allowed to grow through the mesh before use to ensure that<br />
the surface is strong and safe. The mesh ‘vanishes’ as the grass grows through the<br />
mesh, leaving the appearance of a natural grassed area.<br />
✳ Manufactured from 100% recycled HDPE in green or black<br />
✳ UV stabilised, grass grows through the structure, intertwining with the mesh to create<br />
a strong surface<br />
✳ Effectively becomes invisible after grass establishment<br />
✳ Ideal for light vehicles and pedestrian grassed areas such as car parks, grass<br />
verges, wheelchair use and golf buggy routes<br />
✳ Available in 3 different grades:<br />
Heavy Duty version: Manufactured from<br />
a heavier grade HDPE grass protection<br />
mesh. Produced specifically for protec -<br />
tion of grassy areas from heavy duty<br />
traffic, such as cars, 4x4’s, vans and<br />
occasional heavy goods vehicles (able<br />
to take loads up to 8 tonnes per axle).<br />

For many decades <strong>Rigby</strong> <strong>Taylor</strong> has been collaborating<br />
with leading grass breeding companies to develop and<br />
provide a range of quality grass seed mixtures dedicated<br />
to landscape applications. The <strong>Rigby</strong> <strong>Taylor</strong> commitment<br />
is to provide the best possible seeding solutions that<br />
includes testing and development work at the world<br />
renowned Sports Turf Research Institute (STRI).<br />
For best results<br />
✳ A good seedbed should be clean, firm and have a fairly fine tilth, therefore cultivate<br />
and roll as required.<br />
✳ Use of a pre-seed fertilizer is recommended to assist fast establishment.<br />
✳ Sow your chosen mixture at the recommended sowing rate and depth, as seeds left<br />
on the surface may dry out and die soon after germination.<br />

Selected Flower Seed - Euroflor<br />
<strong>Rigby</strong> <strong>Taylor</strong> ‘Euroflor’ is a range of flower seed products creating urban meadows for<br />
use in towns, communities, landscapes and amenity areas.<br />
The originality lies in the wonderful colour balance, species diversity and natural<br />
aspect. Specifically designed for urban settings these seeds offer a long flowering<br />
period from spring to autumn.<br />
Maintenance operations are reduced and at the same time embellish urban areas to<br />
benefit the public at large. Furthermore use of Euroflor has been shown to be more cost<br />
effective in maintenance costs than use of bedding plants and a good quality lawn.<br />
Biodeversity improvements are also achieved through maintenance of habit manage -<br />
ment, drawing bumble bees, honey bees, butterflies, beetles, ladybirds and other<br />
insects to establish habitat through provision of a regular and stable source of nectar.<br />

Euroflor flower mixes are also available in rolls of biodgradable seed mattings. These<br />
mats are particularly beneficial when used on slopes as the sowing rates are<br />
predetermined, moisture is maintained during germination and weeds are suppressed<br />
by the matting whilst the seed germinates. They also assists with erosion control.<br />
(Available in 1m or 2m widths or on request).<br />

Grass Seed, Wild Flowers & Turf<br />
Matting<br />
Meadowmat<br />
Wild flowers are vitally important to pollinating<br />
insects such as bees, butterflies and a wild<br />
flower meadow is a great way to help<br />
encourage biodiversity in the garden. It will<br />
attract such creatures as moths, frogs, small<br />
mammals, insects and birds.<br />
What is Meadomat?<br />
It contains 34 species of British wild flowers impregnated on a thin layer of growing<br />
medium supported by a lightweight net. The mat is delivered with the plants already<br />
growing, so only needs to be installed onto a prepared surface.<br />
The mat is a quick and easy way to establish a wild flower meadow that is more<br />
reliable than seeding. By following the guidelines for installation and maintenance,<br />
excellent results can be achieved.<br />
Depending on the time of the year, it is possible that flowers will be seen within weeks<br />
of laying. Full installation instructions are supplied separately.<br />
Enviromat Sedum Matting<br />
Matting consists of drought-tolerant plants<br />
grown on a unique matting system. The<br />
specially developed geotextile base offers ease<br />
of handling, allowing installation with<br />
confidence on slopes and banks. Pre-grown<br />
plants have access to a lifetime supply of<br />
growing medium and the mats are supplied<br />
with at least 95% plant coverage for instant<br />
green effect. Low maintenance plants do not<br />
require mowing, pruning or deadheading and<br />
only require a single annual feed for a fabulous<br />
floral display.<br />
Ideal for establishing plants on soilless<br />
surfaces, Enviromat is ideal for installing on a<br />
flat roof of gravel garden. Seed mix includes<br />

Grass Seed, Wild Flowers & Turf<br />
Turf<br />
Classic<br />
High quality turfgrass mixture designed to provide the basis for hard-wearing lawns,<br />
golf courses and formal gardens with an ornamental appearance. The grasses<br />
contained within the sward are selected from the highest rated seed in Europe grown on<br />
the best sandy loam soils in the country for turf production.<br />
Lawn<br />
General purpose landscaping and lawn<br />
turf consisting of fine leaved and attractive<br />
hard wearing grasses, which will provide<br />
a turfgrass mixture for most applications<br />
including coastal gardens, banks and<br />
pathways.<br />

Reinforced Turf<br />
Fibreturf is the name for a natural turf growing in a synthetic fibre-reinforced rootzone. It<br />
is specially designed to obtain greater use of natural turf, whilst maintaining the high<br />
quality of surface demanded by present day landscape specifiers.<br />
The aim is achieved by blending together sand, organic matter and 35mm long<br />
polypropylene fibres to produce a homogeneous rootzone, termed Fibreturf rootzone.<br />
This rootzone is supplied in bulk tippers to be laid as the top 75-200mm, dependant<br />
upon end-use, thus producing a 'fibre re-inforced' or 'stabilised' upper rootzone. The<br />
natural turf finish is then produced by either seeding directly into the Fibreturf rootzone,<br />
or by laying mature Fibreturf which has been pre-grown by specialist turf supplier Inturf.<br />
Typical applications<br />
✳ General amenity area<br />
✳ Winter sports<br />
✳ High grassed traffic areas (municipal and tourist sites)<br />
✳ Grass verges subject to occasional vehicle traffic<br />
✳ Overspill and temporary car parking<br />
✳ Access routes to industrial sites via recreational fields<br />
✳ Emergency access routes for offices/schools/industrial sites<br />

> 30 m2 (approx.120cm wide)<br />
Fibreturf Rootzone<br />
This is a blend of sand and organic matter that incorporates 35mm long polypro pylene<br />
fibres. The rootzone is supplied in bulk and laid to a depth of 75-200mm (depending<br />
on the surface use) as a fibre-re-inforced stabilised upper rootzone. Seed is then sown<br />
as would be normal practice or laid over with mature pre-grown Fibreturf.<br />

control. The active ingredient propyzamide acts by inhibiting cell division within the<br />
weed plant causing disruption of the various growth processes which results in death of<br />
the weed.<br />
Flexidor 125 is a pre-emergence herbicide and acts by inhibiting cell wall synthesis,<br />
being absorbed by germinating broad-leaved weed seeds, preventing them from<br />
establishing themselves.<br />
How to use<br />
This tank-mix can be used to control a wide range of weeds in a variety of situations<br />
including around ornamental trees, shrubs and rose beds, and in recreational areas.<br />
Apply in autumn and winter from 1st October-31st January.<br />
Where established perennial weeds e.g. docks, thistles, are already present, a spot<br />
treatment of glyphosate will be needed to remove them. When spraying ornamental<br />
plantings near turf, care should be taken to avoid any spray drift onto grasses.<br />
✳ Residual (and some post-emergence) control of annual and perennial weeds and<br />
grasses<br />
✳ One application normally provides season-long control<br />
✳ Applied around ornamental trees/shrubs (season following planting)<br />
✳ Application can be made outside of peak work periods<br />
✳ Soil-acting, dry leaf not needed<br />
How to apply<br />
Apply as a medium/coarse spray. Soil moisture is needed to help the Flexodor 125<br />
move into the upper 5cm of soil and control the weeds as they germinate. Dry soils will<br />
also affect efficacy.<br />
Ensure there is a grass buffer zone between the area of application and any<br />
watercourse/channel. This buffer zone should be a minimum of 6 metres wide<br />
measured from top to bottom of the watercourse bank. Long runs and slopes of more<br />
than 5% may need a buffer zone of up to 20 metres or more.<br />

Discman CDA Biograde<br />
Chemicals<br />
Contains 216 g/l glyphosate<br />
MAPP No 12856<br />
Controlled Droplet Application (CDA) is a specifically designed battery operated sprayer<br />
with a spinning disk rotary atomiser that breaks up the spray solution precisely,<br />
resulting in a narrow and consistent droplet size which gives optimum coverage onto<br />
the plant leaf.<br />
The back-pack holds 7 litres of product and at the standard application rate will cover<br />
10,000 square metres (1 hectare). The high concentration of glyphosate (216g/l),<br />
linked to a low application rate, results in the amount of active ingredient applied per<br />
hectare being higher than for any other cda formulation,<br />
making it extremely effective and very cost efficient.<br />
Eliminator Applicator Lance<br />
Discman CDA Biograde can be used through the<br />
Eliminator lance by simply connecting the herbicide bottle<br />
directly onto the lance. Application can begin immediately<br />
without any water or mixing being necessary.<br />
✳ Controls annual and perennial grasses and broadleaved<br />
weeds<br />
✳ Ready to use CDA formulation – no water, no mixing,<br />
no overdosing<br />
✳ Unique non-irritant, biograde<br />
formulation giving greater efficacy<br />
✳ Low standard application rate – 7 litres/ha<br />
✳ Rapid absorption – rainfast only 30 minutes after application<br />
✳ Non-hazardous COSHH classification<br />
How to use<br />
The product can be used at any time of year when weeds are<br />
actively growing and have adequate leaf area to absorb the spray.<br />
Do not spray in frosty weather or in windy conditions.<br />
Discman CDA Biograde must be applied with CDA equipment with<br />
an approved droplet spectrum (VMD min 200 microns). Choose<br />
a disc with a spray pattern appropriate to the task in hand.<br />
Perennial grasses are susceptible when tillering and new rhizome<br />
growth commences (normally 4-5 leaves). Perennial broadleaved<br />
weeds are more susceptible if treated at or near flowering,<br />
but will be severely checked if treated at any time during active<br />
growth. It does not affect mature bark so can be used right up to<br />
the base of woody trees and shrubs.<br />

Applied at the early stage of the disease Throttle’s curative activity provides outstanding<br />
results. Alternatively, the product can be applied before the onset of the disease during<br />
periods when disease risk is high, so preventing infection occurring. Throttle offers a<br />
three-way route for the achievement of superb disease control, delivering preventative,<br />
curative and eradicant activity.<br />
Applying a ‘contact only’ fungicide during such situations will be less effective as the<br />
fungicide covering the leaf surface will be quickly removed by cutting so the the<br />
systemic action of Throttle will be very effective during periods of rapid leaf growth when<br />
the turf is receiving constant mowing.<br />

Ice Clean<br />
Fencing<br />
Landscape Sundries<br />
Contains 99% Calcium Chloride<br />
Ice Clean is effective at both preventing the formation of<br />
ice and for melting snow. The Calcium Chloride when in<br />
contact with water (frozen or liquid) starts an<br />
exothermic reaction, that generates heat<br />
sufficient enough to melt snow down to -<br />
30°C.<br />
Because Ice Clean is 99% pure Calcium<br />
Chloride it is the best available de-icer and<br />
snow melt material available and is 30 times<br />
more efficient, and faster, than rock salt.<br />
Ice Clean is suitable for all applications on hards surfaces where snow and ice form,<br />
but unlike salt it will not stain or leave dirty marks on shoes and carpets. Any residue<br />
should simply be vacuumed away.<br />
✳ A fast and clean alternative to the traditional use of rock salt and road grit<br />
✳ Effective down to -30°C for up to 48 hours<br />
✳ Will not stain shoes or carpets – just vacuum away any excess<br />
Application rate 100g Ice Clean per 1sq.m<br />
1kg Ice Clean per 10sq.m<br />
Pack sizes 20 kg, 12 kg and 1.25 kg shaker packs<br />
