Kurtail Gold not available after Jan 2019

Postby RogerS » 24 Sep 2018, 08:31

Technical note for any users of Kurtail Gold, or other products, containing Glufosinate Ammonium - in the fight against horsetail/ marestail.

The multinational company that manufactures the active ingredient have decided they will no longer be supporting this chemical through registration in the EU, so all products containing Glufosinate in the UK and Europe will have to stop selling it by 31st January 2019. Users will have 12 months to use it up (31.1.2020).

This is fresh news to us, as suppliers and will come as a shock to many relying on it to kill and control horsetail/ marestail weed - the most invasive, prolific and hard to kill weed we face.

Progreen are selling Kurtail Gold, first to market over 7 years ago with a solution to mares tail, in 500ml or 2L bottles. We offer free delivery on orders of 1L or more and will price-match any competitors as always.

While Kurtail Gold is the best known and most suitable treatment for horsetail you can sign up for the latest on our trials and research into a suitable replacement for next season..

In short:

Kurtail Gold will be removed from sale on 31st Jan 2019
If opportunity doesn't knock, build a door.

Roundup (Glyphosate) etc is also under threat due to links with cancer.

The authorities have been arguing over glyphosphate for years. I though the EU had just granted another 5 year licence.
I do not think therefore I do not am.
