Amizon Brushkiller XT is a Grass-friendly, selective Herbicide for the control of Gorse, Blackberry, Broom, Lupin, Sweet Brier and other Brushweeds and certain Broad-leaf Weeds such as Chickweed, Butterfly-Weed, Chicory, Clover, Dandelion, Thistle in Pasture, Forestry, Amenity Turf and non-cropland areas.
Active Ingredient:
100 g/L Picloram, and 8g/L Aminopyralid as the Amine Salt and 300 g/L Triclopyr as the Butoxyethyl Ester in the form of a Emulsifiable Concentrate.
What It Controls:
The Label Highlights Control Of Brushweeds:
– Blackberry.
– Gorse.
– Broom.
– Broadleaf Weeds in Pasture.
Also Commonly Used On:
– Thistles.
– Dandelion.
– Clover (will be suppressed/removed).
This is much stronger than standard Pasture sprays and is designed for hard-to-kill Weeds.
Where You Can Use it: (Approved Uses Include).
– Pasture (Grass dominant).
– Forestry.
– Non-crop areas.
– Amenity/Turf situations.
Important:
– Will damage or kill desirable Broadleaf Plants.
Not Suitable For:
– Gardens.
– Vegetables.
– Sensitive Crops.
How it Works:
Systemic Herbicide (moves through the Plant)Mimics Plant Hormones → uncontrolled growth → death. Because it’s Systemic it works well on deep-rooted and Woody Weeds.
Mixing & Application: (Practical Interpretation).
– Exact rates vary depending on Weed type, but label-style guidance.
Spot Spraying: (Knapsack).
Typically 10–20 mL per litre for general WeedsHigher rates for Woody Weeds like Gorse and Blackberry.
Boom Spraying:
– Roughly 1–6 L per Hectare depending on target Weeds.
Key idea:
– Light Weeds → lower rate.
– Woody/established Weeds → higher rate.
When To Spray: (CRITICAL).
Best Timing:
When Weeds are actively growing and there is good leaf area for uptake.
For Brushweeds:
– Spray during spring to autumn growth periods.
Avoid:
– Drought stress.
– Frost.
– Extreme heat.
Residual Activity: (IMPORTANT).
– Because of Picloram & Aminopyralidthis product has soil residual activity andcan stay active in soil for months.
Can Affect:
– New plantings.
– Sensitive Crops later.
– This is a major difference from products like glyphosate.
Spray Drift Warning:
– High-risk product for off-target damage.
Can Drift And Damage:
– Trees.
– Crops.
– Gardens.
– Hormone Herbicides are especially prone to drift damage.
Always:
– Spray in low wind.
– Use coarse droplets.
– Avoid temperature inversions.
Safety & Hazards: (From SDS).
– Harmful if swallowed.
– Causes skin irritation/allergic reaction.
– Causes eye irritation.
– May cause organ damage with long exposure.
– Very toxic to aquatic life.
PPE Required:
– Gloves.
– Protective Clothing.
– Eye/face Protection.
Environmental Risks:
Highly Toxic To:
– Waterways.
– Soil organisms.
– Wildlife.
Label Implications:
– Keep away from Drains and Streams.
– Prevent runoff.
Key Use Strengths:
Excellent For:
– Gorse Control.
– Blackberry Control.
– Woody Brush Cleanup.
– Long-term Pasture Weed Control.
Often Used Where:
– Standard Herbicides fail.
Key Mistakes To Avoid:
– Using near sensitive Plants.
– Residual + drift = long-term damage.
– Expecting quick burn-down.
– Works systemically → takes time.
– Using too low a rate on Woody Weedsleads to regrowth.
– Replanting too soon.
– Residual Herbicide can kill new Plants.
Bottom Line:
– Powerful selective Brushweed Herbicide.
– Works on tough, Woody, deep-rooted Weeds.
– Grass-safe (generally) but kills most Broadleaf Plants.
– Has long soil residual.
– Requires careful handling and placement.
Caution:
Must be used strictly according to label directions.
