Roundup Tree Stump Weedkiller, Super Concentrate 250 ml

Product Information

Apply the chemical tree-stump killer or decomposing agent. Depending on the product, this might mean sprinkling granules in the holes and then pouring hot water over the stump. It might also mean painting a liquid on the surface of the stump or spraying it. Spraying is usually reserved for stumps with green sprouts, and the sprouts are sprayed as well. Using a chainsaw, cut the stump low to the ground and remove side bark to reveal as much surface area as possible. Clearing out underbrush or removing woody shrubs and trees can leave unsightly stumps that must be removed before the area can be used for other purposes. Stump killers are designed to either kill a green stump that might otherwise send up shoots or decay an already dead stump, softening it and making it easy to remove. For those looking to use this type of product for the first time, some questions are to be expected. Q. Should I remove my tree stumps? ROUNDUP® Tree Stump Weedkiller can be used to clean up weedy areas before planting vegetables, flowers, shrubs and to renovate overgrown areas. While the stump-killing active ingredients in Tordon may not be easy on the environment, it doesn’t take a lot of this product to work. When used responsibly, Tordon can be a very effective and reasonably safe way of killing an offending tree stump. To use, apply Tordon only in the ring that circles the stump where the bark meets the wood, which is called the cambium. From there, it will soak into the stump’s root system, killing off any living tissue.

Do not allow children or pets to go anywhere near the treated stump until the Roundup has completely dried. While most people think of Epsom salt as a cure for aching muscles and feet, this versatile product will also kill a tree stump. And, it will do so without harming the environment. In fact, users will be salting the earth after conquering that stump, adding nutrients to the soil that will promote growth of new plantings. After cutting down a tree, some people decide they will wait it out until the tree stump decomposes. However, this is not a good idea, particularly if you have plans for the area of land the tree stump is rooted in.This is the best solution. Ideally the stump should be removed entirely, but if this is not possible alternative methods usually give satisfactory results. Some types of stump remover, especially those containing potassium nitrate, are flammable, so don’t use them near an open flame or smoke during application. Application Process Sodium metabisulfite: Sodium metabisulfite is an inorganic chemical that helps decay seasoned tree stumps. It’s not meant for use on green stumps that may regrow. Although Roundup is most effective when it is absorbed directly through the leaves, you can drill 2-3-inch-deep holes into the stump outer diameter and apply the herbicide directly into these holes to reach the cambium layer of the tree. Apply a weedkiller directly to the stump, concentrating it in the outer ring of live tissue just beneath the bark

Tordon is specifically designed for killing trees and brush, so it handles this task with less effort than Roundup. Simply apply the Tordon around the outer ring of a cut tree stump using a sponge applicator. This Tordon RTU product even contains a colored dye to clearly mark stumps and brush that have been treated. If you are dealing with a larger tree with large foliage you should cut it down to its stump and treat it directly with Roundup. The size of the stump is a significant factor in deciding whether to remove it manually or chemically. Stumps that sit a couple of inches above ground level can pose a tripping hazard. If the stump is in a part of the yard that sees frequent foot traffic, it might be better to have it manually removed for safety purposes. Tordon remains active in the soil for up to 90 days, making it far more lethal to nearby plants than Roundup. However, Glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup, has been at the center of controversy due to its links to cancer in humans. Tordon has never been shown to be toxic to humans. Chemicals such as glyphosate, triclopyr, picloram, and potassium nitrate are frequently found in chemical stump removers designed to kill a stump and hasten its decay. Q.
