TIMBREL – last call to stock up

With TIMBREL having received a withdrawal notice from Chemicals Regulation Directorate (CRD), Dow AgroSciences is advising end users that they have until 30th November 2013 to buy it if they need product for next season - subject to availability.

The withdrawal notice means that:

• Sales of TIMBREL through the trade can continue until 30th November 2013.

• Final date for the disposal, storage and use of existing stocks with end users to continue until 30th November 2014.

• These dates also apply to all parallel import registrations of the TIMBREL formulation.

Although there is currently no direct replacement to TIMBREL, Dow AgroSciences is advising users that its new products ICADE* and GARLON* ULTRA will help fill the gap for invasive and woody weeds in many situations within the amenity grassland market.

These products must not, however, be used for forestry and woodland but can be applie up to the drip line of most trees and up to 1 metre away from the drip line of saplings, hedges and shrubs, essentially keeping the herbicides away from where the roots of desirable plants are growing.

In addition, there is BLASTER* PRO - maintaining its approval for knapsack use - which can also provide effective control of common nettles, docks, creeping thistle, bramble, broom and gorse amongst many other species.

Dow AgroSciences has new products in the pipeline coming through for the forestry and woodland markets.

Timbrel, Blaster Pro and a comprehensive range of weedkillers are available from the Pitchcare Store.
