At the ICL stand (K030) at SALTEX 2018, focus will be on Ecoplug Max, a patented product for tree stump control.
Ecoplug Max is a patented tree stump control application method that delivers glyphosate directly into the tree stump, killing its root system and preventing re-growth. Each plug contains 300mg of granular glyphosate that are placed into holes drilled into the stump using the Ecoplug drill bit. The plugs are then hammered in, forcing out the sides of the plug, releasing the glyphosate into the phloem.
Ecoplug Max supports requirements of the Sustainable Use Directive (SUD) to minimise use of pesticides. With the glyphosate encapsulated inside the unit, it never gets in direct contact with anything but the plant, minimising the risk of the operator coming into contact with chemical or chemical spillage. It also eliminates the risk of damage to surrounding trees and vegetation.
Visitors to the stand will also benefit from learning more about the popular Turf Rewards programme, which offers ICL customers the chance to earn points from purchases and convert them into a range of valuable agronomic or educational items. The programme is perfect for golf, sports and amenity turf managers with an extensive range of items on offer such as workplace tools, clothing and work wear, and educational vouchers. Not only does it benefit the turf manager but it is of advantage to the team, the turf, and the organisation they work for by maximising budgets with every purchase.
As well as showcasing its ever-evolving product ranges, the ICL technical team will be on hand at SALTEX to talk all things turf and landscape. The stand will also feature a coffee barista.
