PRESENTS: PRESENTS: “ THE PRODUCT WHERE NATURE GIVES A HELPING HAND ”
A ready to use formulation containing Triclopyr BEE in a propriety blend of raw natural and processed plant oils for LOW VOLUME basal, cut stump and foliar treatment of various species.
features and how it works: • Turbodor 29 MPA is a highly effective systemic herbicide for the control of a broad range of species • Is an ready to use (RTU) which provides for an easy application and requires no mixing with water • Highly effective on certain invader plant species which are currently difficult to control with conventional herbicides Dead Prosopis tree 3 months after a basal treatment
features and how it works: • Turbodor 29 MPA consists of a propriety natural oil blend designed to spread and stick onto the target plant material for effective penetration • Precision application is important when using Turbodor 29 MPA • Precision application will assist in achieving a higher efficacy against targeted species and also minimize product wastage when sprayed • Precision application with Turbodor 29 MPA can be achieved for various application methods with Ecoguard Specialised Spray Equipment
Specialised Spray Equipment Specialised spray equipment is important for achieving precision application with Turbodor 29 MPA With the correct equipment and application method, one can largely save on volume wastage when spraying and improve efficacy Specialised spray equipment includes: • 80˚low volume flat fan nozzle 1 Bar pressure regulator • 100-Mesh Strainer • Extended lances •
Specialised Spray Equipment 80˚ Flat Fan nozzle A special low volume nozzle XR 80015 VS has shown to minimize wastage of Turbodor through a fine spray application It is a Tee-Jet flat-fan nozzle with a stainless steel insert The angle together with the fine spray application ensures very low volumes of herbicide sprayed as well as a good spray delivery 100-Mesh Strainer Acts as a filter / strainer for the volume of herbicide sprayed to prevent debris in the spray-tank from blocking the aperture of the nozzle spray tip.
Specialised Spray Equipment [Old design] 1 Bar Pressure Regulator • Regulates the pressure of the sprayer at 1 BAR ensuring consistent delivery of Turbodor at 1 bar (low pressure). • Keeps the droplet size constant to minimise spray-drift (Higher pressures produces finer droplet sizes, making it more susceptible to drift) [New design] • The one-way valve will decrease drip and wastage from the lance spray tip. Immediately once you have stopped the spray trigger it will prevent any volume from being released. • There are 2 designs of the 1 Bar pressure regulator – one is the yellow type and the other black with a yellow cap.
Specialised Spray Equipment Spray kit Field tests have shown that a volume output of between 15-25 ml per stem is easily obtainable with a complete spray kit fitted to your lance Volume output will come to 6ml per 1 second pull of the spray-trigger Assembled spray kit fitted Spray kits are available at Ecoguard Biosciences and to spray lance include:
Specialised Spray Equipment Extended lances • For plants with thorns or hard to reach basal areas, there are longer lances available in 1m and 1,5m lengths. • It is light weight, easy to use and can penetrate through brush, thorns and other obstacles to reach the base of the stem for applying Turbodor • Prevents operator fatigue (less bending) and lessens injuries by thorns and branches.
Precision Application Methods The execution of application is just as important as the • correct product and spray-equipment. Methods for Turbodor 29 MPA include : • Full-cover foliar (cacti species) Cut-stump • Basal single-stem • Basal multi-stem •
Foliar application of Foliar application requires a light full cover spray of the foliage of the targeted plant For cacti species, a low volume fine full cover spray is required on all cladodes and stem, essentially covering the entire surface of the plant CAUTION - Be wary of spray drift, especially near crops Turbodor may yellow grass, as the natural oil blend settles on the leaf blade surface. The grass however, will not die Prickly pear cactus treated with Turbodor 29 MPA full-cover foliar application
Cut stump application of Fell the target tree with a smooth even cut stump which exposes the cambium Clear around the circumference of the cut-stump to expose the root crown Apply Turbodor 29 MPA to the exposed cambium as well as to the full circumference of the remaining stem down to the root-crown Picture of a cut-stump treatment
Basal application of Single-stem Trees Fit the 80˚ flat fan nozzle at a vertical angle for single stem trees A vertical angle will allow for good coverage of the stem and will minimise spray from missing the targeted stem. Turbodor 29 MPA spreads well and often with thin stems you will only require a single burst of Turbodor The thickness of the stem diameter will determine how many bursts of Turbodor 29 MPA you’ll require to effectively wet the full circumference of the stem from the specified height down to the root crown
Basal application of Multi-stem Trees Fit the 80 nozzle horizontally on the tip of the lance The horizontal angle will allow you to spray a flat fan that will cover multiple stems with a single burst of Turbodor 29 MPA Spray from the specified height down to and including the root crown Ensure the full circumference of all the stems are effectively wet with Turbodor to prevent any regrowth An extension lance can be helpful getting through thick multi-stem brush and other obstacles to the targeted base of stems
