ECOPLUG MAX® is an efficient method to prevent regroth from leaf trees.
ECOPLUG MAX® is a little ingenious plug that is inserted into a tree or a stump to kill it and eventually eliminate it and its regroth.
When you cut down one or several leaf trees new sprouting will commence almost immediately.
ECOPLUG MAX® is an 100 percent effective method dealing with eliminating the sprouting from broad leaf trees. It 's a selective method that will reduce the use of chemicals by 90% compared to traditional methods. The active ingredient is released inside the plant that is to be exterminated.
ECOPLUG MAX® is mainly sold in Sweden and South Africa where the product is being manufactured by VUKUHAMBE (stand up and go) by handicapped local workers.
ECOPLUG MAX®
By utilizing ECOPLUG MAX® the stump/tree will die.
Treat the stump by applying the plug immediately after felling, in fresh wood.
To check if the wood is alive, drill a hole from the side and check the saw dust coming out, it should be moist.
How-to use?
Ecoplug max is easy to apply. First, drill holes
minimum 3 cm deep into the stump or into a
standing tree. Then place the plug in the hole and
strike with a hammer.
To calculate how many Ecoplugs are needed for a
stump, divide its diameter by 4. Ex. a stump with
a 32 cm in diameter needs 8 (32/4). Evenly place
Ecoplugs as close to the bark as possible.
What happens when you hit an Ecoplug max
in a stump is that the chemical glyphosate goes
out into its entire root system and prevents new
growth. It takes 4-6 weeks for the tree to die.
