By utilizing EcoPlug Max the stump/tree will die. Treat the stump by applying the plug immediately after felling, in fresh wood. Records the default button state of the corresponding category & the status of CCPA. It works only in coordination with the primary cookie. Compare the efficacy of Ecoplugs with conventional herbicide application, with different delays after cutting, and with and without simulated rainfall, for preventing regrowth from cut rhododendron stumps.

You must ensure the end user of these products complies with the DEFRA/HSE Code for the Safe use of Pesticides and hold a verified in date BASIS License:Ecoplug Max is a highly effective patented tree stump killer. Each plug contains 300mg of granular glyphosate herbicide. Once inserted and hammered in place, Ecoplug Max releases glyphosate through the sides directly into the tree stumps.

Ecoplug Max ® is a fast, safe and highly effective tree stump killer. Once a tree is felled, most varieties will shoot new growth and rapidly grow to cause the same problem they were felled for. Our research found that applying one Ecoplug per 3 cm of stump diameter can give around 80-90% control of regrowth from rhododendron stumps. Control is likely to be as good as, but no better than, conventional sprays of liquid glyphosate, and in both cases, repeat visits to control regrowth will almost certainly still be required. Although it is recommended that Ecoplugs should always be applied to stumps within 2 days of cutting, if a delay is unavoidable, our work suggests that they may still be effective if applied up to eight weeks after cutting. The artificial rainfall applied had no effect on the treatments. Saunders, C. (2014). An Investigation into the Efficiency of Ecoplugs for Chemical Thinning. Technical Development Job Report 121. Internal report. Technical Development, Forest Research, Ae Village.The application costs of the different methods of killing standing trees, assuming 2,000 treated stems per hectare, including the costs of tools, safety equipment, chemicals etc, were found to be as follows:- Ecoplug contains granular glyphosate to kill the whole root system of targeted trees with no effect on surrounding trees. A tree stump technique releasing glyphosate for the treatment of stumps to minimise root and stump sprouting. Ecoplug Max should be inserted from above, at between 6 –7cm around the entire circumference of the stump.
