Recent Developments In Our Product Range For Ornamental Production Nurseries
We recognise the value and importance of the production nursery and landscape ornamentals markets in providing health and beautification to our surroundings. We also recognise the incredible effort that goes into ensuring ornamental plants are grown sustainably and to a high standard that is required by customers.
We seek to develop products that can help nursery and landscape managers achieve their goals of producing quality green life in the most sustainable and resource efficient way.
One such example is Specticle®. "With weed control in ornamental production nurseries becoming increasingly problematic due to the occurrence of difficult to control weeds, such as fleabane, as well as weed resistance to common herbicides and the high labour cost associated with frequent herbicide applications and hand weeding, new weed control methods are required to allow the development of sustainable weed management programs that help break the cycle of difficult to control weeds across all areas of the nursery", said James Royal, National Sales & Marketing Manager ANZ (Turf & Ornamentals).
Specticle Herbicide has recently been registered for pre-emergent weed control in bareground areas of ornamental plant production nurseries. It is labelled for use in maintaining bareground in outdoor ornamental nursery production areas (e.g. underneath and around potted plants and benches) in access areas like driveways, walkways and around infrastructure such as buildings and fence lines. Active ingredient: 200 g/L Indaziflam.Pack size: 1 L.Download the Specticle label here
