Ecoplug Max^® 100 Plug Packs – PCS No. 05595

Active Ingredient: 680g/Kg Glyphosate.

The Ecoplug Max® method, a patented approach for controlling tree stumps, effectively administers glyphosate directly into the stump, disrupting its root system and thwarting re-growth. Each plug, containing 300mg of granular glyphosate, is effortlessly inserted into drilled holes using the Ecoplug drill bit. Upon insertion, the plugs expand, dispersing the glyphosate into the tree’s phloem.

Ecoplug Max® adheres to the Sustainable Use Directive (SUD) by minimizing pesticide usage. Encapsulated within the unit, the glyphosate remains isolated, reducing the likelihood of operator exposure or spills. Moreover, this method eliminates the risk of harm to adjacent trees and vegetation, ensuring that the glyphosate remains confined to its intended target—the plant.

*Please note that product color may vary; Eco-Plugs may be supplied in either Orange or Purple, depending on availability.

Key Features of Ecoplug Max^®:

• No water is needed to apply Ecoplug Max^®, vastly reducing required labour.
• 95-100% efficacy on treated stumps, preventing regrowth.
• Ecoplugs take up little storage space and are safe to transport loosely.
• 100% selective with no effect on surrounding trees or vegetation.
• Significantly reduces risks to operator and environment from using herbicide to control trees.
• Ecoplugs mark treated stumps; liquid glyphosates require marker dye to highlight treated stumps.
• Meets requirements of Sustainable Use Directive to minimise herbicide use and the Water Framework Directive to prevent contamination of waterways with pesticides.
• Use in all weather, all year round – most glyphosates have a much smaller application window.
• Significantly reduces the cost of clearing trees because it reduces the need for follow up site visits.

How to Apply Ecoplug Max^®

1: Cut the tree as close to the ground as possible.

2: Drill 25-30mm deep & 13mm wide using the Ecoplug drill bit to control the depth (the Ecoplug drill bit has a stop plate at 30mm allowing precise depth control).

3: Place an Ecoplug in the hole with the orange end first. The top will protrude by about 10mm.

4: Hit the Ecoplug with a hammer until the head is flush with the stump to push out the sides and release herbicide.
