    i never heard much about the ban on sale of chemical Asulam in europe fom 31 dec 2011 and from 31 December 2012 - end of the use-up period. After this date it will be illegal to apply or store products containing Asulam in the EU.

    i went into coop to get it and no use... pain as i was winning the battle ... what do we use now?:mad:

    There has been a fair bit of chat about it on BFF in the last couple of years. For bracken a lot are wiping or spraying with glyphosate. I'm going to try to make up a wiper I can use with the quad and see how it goes. We have some asulox but I notice in my own place that there's new bracken coming up again in spots after two/three years of spraying it. I have heard, but I can't confirm from my own experience, that using glypho will kill it for good.

    I've bought cheno unction lately in
    Coop in a fancy new plastic modern easier opened plastic container too... Great stuff.

    Thanks John, I suppose roundup biactive will do also in the spot sprayer.. I found asulox burned the life out of the grass in the close proximity of the ferns anyway..
    I'll order 20litre from agridirect.ie E115 coop is E123, mcpa e42 for 10ltr coop is 50 for same ! I find them good 4.99 delivery is saved on first purchased item
