Icade is a systemic penetrant selective contact herbicide containing 12 g/l aminopyralid and 120 g/l triclopyr which can be used to control a broad range of perennial, herbaceous and woody weeds in amenity grassland. Icade can be used to spot treat difficult to control rates using a solution of 150-200 ml of Icade to 10 l water.
Icade is perfect for helping to prevent damage to buildings and other structures that can be caused by woody weeds and other invasive weeds. It can be used in a variety of amenity settings including railway embankments, cemeteries, utilities and parkland.
The active substances in Icade are absorbed into the plant through the foliage and translocated to the plant roots meaning that the whole plant, not just the top growth, is effectively controlled. Icade is designed to be spot sprayed onto difficult to control weeds to improve application coverage and control of tough and invasive weeds.
Product Benefits
- Effective control of tough and invasive weeds including Japanese knotweed, giant hogweed, buddleia and brambles
- Rainfast in 1 hour
- Controls broadleaved weeds without damaging grasses
- Controls the whole weed from tip to root
