Since its launch in mid 2023, Method^® 240SL herbicide has been making waves in the Australian agricultural landscape, offering unparalleled control of invasive woody weeds. Developed with a unique active ingredient, aminocyclopyrachlor (ACP), Method continues to impress landholders with its effectiveness and versatility.

 

Stephanie Larkin, National Sales Manager, Vegetation Management at Envu, reflects on Method's journey since its introduction, highlighting its application flexibility and substantial systemic activity standout features. "Method's diverse application options have empowered farmers to combat multiple species of weeds with ease," says Stephanie, emphasizing its broad use pattern and efficacy on tough species like Acacia.

  

Trials conducted in collaboration with Desert Channels Queensland prior to launch yielded fantastic results, validating Method's efficacy and cost-effectiveness. Sheldon Navie, Principal Scientist at the IVM Group, shares insights from these trials, where Method demonstrated superior performance compared to existing products. Notably, trees treated with Method showed complete mortality, signalling a significant breakthrough in weed control efforts.

Method's formulation as a soluble liquid (SL) and its water-based composition have also garnered praise for their user friendliness and lack of strong solvents. Furthermore, its ability to target different sites than existing chemistry helps combat resistance in weed species, ensuring sustainable weed management practices.

  

As the product went live to market, feedback on Method has been overwhelmingly positive, with landholders praising its quick and tangible results. "This is a big win for agriculture and natural restoration in Australia," remarks Stephanie, highlighting the significance of introducing new active ingredients to address ongoing challenges in weed control.
