![]() ![]() This could cause digestive upsets and grazing should be prevented until all top growth of the weed is dead (minimum 14 days after spraying). Nettles and other weeds sprayed with NETTLEBAN may become increasingly palatable to stock, and may therefore be preferentially grazed. Medium volume - 10ml of NETTLEBAN per litre of water sprayed should be applied to the point of run-off. Low volume- 20ml of NETTLEBAN per litre of water sprayed should be applied to give a fine coverage of all foliage.Ģ. ![]() Agitate during filling and topping up and continue agitation until spraying is completed.ġ. When mixing, half fill the spray tank with clean water, add the recommended quantity of NETTLEBAN and complete filling. The use of larger jets is likely to lead to loss of herbicide due to excessive ‘run-off’. Optimum results will be achieved by spraying at 4mph using jets which deliver approximately one litre per minute at 3 bars pressure.Where higher volumes are to be applied, it is recommended that the above jets are retained while the forward speed is reduced. The higher recommended volumes of water should be used where Nettles and Thistles prevail and where weed populations are dense. Apply by tractor-mounted sprayer ensuring good coverage of all foliage.

Inclusion of a weedkiller product does not indicate a recommendation or endorsement by the RHS. Branches or shoots can be held back, using canes, or by covering or screening while spraying, but make sure that the weed foliage has dried before releasing branches or removing the covering.Ī weedkiller based on glyphosate (see above) will eliminate it very effectively, spraying in spring or summer. If treating weeds in the immediate vicinity of garden plants, apply carefully in cool, calm weather. However, as glyphosate is not selective in its action, it is essential to avoid spray or spray drift coming into contact with garden plants. Roundup Fast Action, SBM Job done General Purpose Weedkiller or Doff Advanced Weedkiller) are effective in controlling creeping buttercup. Apply in spring when growth is vigorous and repeat if necessary. Doff Lawn Weedkiller or Westland Resolva Lawn Weedkiller Extra) will control creeping buttercup. Alternatively, smother it with a sheet of black plastic mulch. Where very thick infestations occur there may be no option but to lift desirable plants, removing any parts of the weeds and hold the cleaned plants in weed-free ground while the infested border is cleaned up over the summer using the methods described for bare soil.ĭigging and hoeing will destroy this weed. Both processes will need to be repeated several times for full control. Repeated hoeing through the summer will also eliminate this weed.

If chemical controls are used, they should be used only in a minimal and highly targeted manner. 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. ![]() Where these methods are not feasible, chemical controls may need to be used.
