February 2017 GreenMan trial

GreenMan™ is a non-selective green herbicide for amenity and general knockdown herbicide use. GreenMan™ is Canola based, low hazard, bio-degradable and a non-dangerous good for transport.

Compared to earlier “green” herbicides, GreenMan is proving to be a more effective herbicide, with longer kills, a wider weed control spectrum, much lower application rates and several other in-use advantages, such as low odour and more safety around desirable plants and trees, as used at a much lower rates eg 2 to 4% dilution rate.

 

Here at Element Raw Materials, we have been conducting some trials on GreenMan to prove the efficiency and effectiveness.

 

On the 13th February 2017, we sprayed various weed species using GreenMan at 4% dilution rate (4L GreenMan in 100L water).

 

The results showed that in under 48 hours, GreenMan has shown to be an effective weed killer.

We have also had good success with rates of 2% GreenMan, so next trials will show efficacy at 2% Greenman plus 1% Infiltrator adjuvant.
