Asulox Herbicide

Active Ingredients: Asulam 400g/L (as a soluble concentrate formulation).

Asulox, over many years, has established itself as the UK’s market leading product for bracken control. The active substance, asulam, targets bracken infestations and is translocated throughout the plant to provide effective control. Herbicidal symptoms following application of Asulox are virtually absent in the year of spraying but in the following season there is little or no bracken re-growth. Completing a programme of follow up sprays with Asulox can greatly extend the bracken free period for land that has been treated.

Enhance performance of ground-based applications of Asulox with Mixture B non-ionic wetter/spreader.

Keep an eye on treated areas and improve application accuracy with Eye SPI Spray Pattern Indicator.

Instructions for use

Where to use

• Amenity grassland - Areas of semi-natural or planted grassland subject to minimal or non-intensive management including airfields and predominantly grassed railway embankments and roadside verges.
• Forest - Groups of trees being grown in their final positions (pre-planting and in the first five years after planting only).
• Grassland - Includes short and long-term leys which may be grazed and/or cut for subsequent animal consumption.
• Moorland - Land grown for grass production for grazing.

Aerial application is permitted on the crops listed above. A buffer zone of 90 m from water bodies must be observed (unless a Local Environmental Risk Assessment for Pesticides (LERAP) permits a narrower buffer zone).

Ground based application is permitted only on areas with:

• A statutory conservation designation,
  e.g.: Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI)
• An Agri-Environment Scheme, e.g.:
  Countryside stewardship
  Environmental stewardship

Specific agreement with Natural England for bracken control including the use of Asulox must be obtained.

When to use

Applications are permitted from the 1st July 2023 – 11th September 2023 only.

• Primary treatment: Treat bracken when it is in full frond (all fronds fully expanded).
• Follow up treatment: Treat at the same timings as primary treatment to avoid subsequent re-growth.

How to use

• Top up with water
• Ensure thorough mixing before commencing spraying
