Loram 24 Herbicide - MAPP no. 13951

Active Ingredients: 240g/l of Picloram.

Loram 24 is a persistent systemic selective herbicide for the control of a wide range of deep-rooted perennial and other weeds on land that is not intended for cropping.

Loram 24 herbicide is particularly effective against Japanese Knotweed (Fallopia japonica) and Ragwort. Japanese knotweed is a member of the Polygonum family and a distant relative of Knotgrass. It is a highly invasive and troublesome weed that will grow anywhere, unfortunately damaging underground pipes, drains, foundations, concrete, tarmac and buildings in the process.

Note: "It is an offence to plant or otherwise encourage" the growth of Japanese Knotweed. With no natural predators or enemies it will spread unchecked by means of rhizomes (underground stems). One centimetre of rhizome is sufficient to generate a new plant that can grow 10cm per day up to a height of 3m. Additionally the rhizomes will spread 7m and reach a depth of 2m! Therefore physical control of this "monster" is very difficult, time consuming and expensive. Loram 24 herbicide offers a very cost-effective solution to this problem. The reason is that not only does it kill difficult weeds and brushwood but also remains extremely persistent and active against re-growth for much of the growing season.
