Asulox

Conmaicne Mara

Any word on Auslox being approved or not for use this year? They allowed it for a window in 2013 and last I heard it was to be looked at again for 2014.

Hi there. I'd be interested to know if it will be available too and if there are any stockists in the west of Ireland?
Thanks

Asulox is the UK's no 1 herbicide for effective bracken control and is now available for 2014 having been granted an EU Emergency Authorisation for use in the UK. Sales have commenced and Pitchcare is taking orders for Asulox 20L, so place your order now, or call us for more information (please see other details below).

just checked the p.c.s. website and it has an emergency use listing.you need to be very careful if ordering from a uk company as you need a licence to import chemicals

Last year it was the 19th of July when they let Asulox be used here.

Thanks. That's right. I discovered this when I enquired about getting a couple of 5 litre containers sent by courier from the north.

Local merchant has been hearing it could well be available here again this year, thought he'd know early July.

Hey did anyone here anything about when Asulox will be available here. I inquired with J Grennan's Agricultural suppliers and they said it could be mid July before it's available

I've heard form local man they'll be getting it in at Clifden Supply, didn't get an exact date. Merchant I use suggested July a few weeks ago as well. Add to that it was licensed on 19th July last year the story gains credibility.

It was available in Aurivo in Westport yesterday.
