clearance a whole lot easier. Furthermore, the selective application method removes the risk of collateral damage to surrounding vegetation inherent in foliar and liquid application methods, and allows precise removal of just a single tree if necessary.
Anyone who can use a drill and a hammer will quickly pick up the method, and only minimum training is required to use the Ecoplug Max. Operators who don’t have full NPTC spraying certification can attend a short, specialist PA6 D course tailored to the technique. Operators have minimal risk of contact with the herbicide - there is no measuring out or potential for spillage or overdosing, and only minimal Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), is required. It is just a matter or measuring the diameter of the stump and spacing out the Ecoplugs around the outside, according to the label instructions. The amount of herbicide used is precisely calculated and targeted, so it is an ideal way of meeting Sustainable Use Directive requirements for minimising pesticide use and to prevent contamination of watercourses under the Water Framework Directive.
The EU intends to introduce legislation to control invasive species this year. Ecoplug Max is particularly well suited for control strategies for several tree species which act as hosts for Sudden Oak death disease, (phytopthora spp). Many areas with Rhododendron ponticum

have eradication policies already in place, and there are grants available in Scotland under the Scottish Rural Development Programme. A programmed approach using Ecoplug Max is suitable for specific areas which need to be kept clear, such as under power lines or along roads or railways, and experience in Sweden has shown intervals between clearings can be doubled with virtually no need for ‘emergency’ interventions. Small stems of less than 3cm are impractical to treat, so areas can be cleared of larger stumps at the first pass and then re- visited after a further 3-4 years when they will be large enough to fell and treat. Just two visits should keep the area clear for up to ten years. With a product like
glyphosate, which has been on the market since 1974, it is refreshing to find innovations. In this specialised area, Ecoplug Max can significantly reduce the cost of tree clearance
programmes, reducing the risk to operators, the public and the environment at the same time - a win win situation.
