History of Japanese Knotweed?

It possesses capabilities of growing at extraordinary rates (up to 10cm per day) and is found throughout all areas of the UK and especially in Essex. It is a highly invasive weed which can expose any weaknesses in buildings, foundations, concrete and tarmac if left unchecked.

Japanese Knotweed Techniques?

The most reliable methods of Essex Japanese knotweed removal can be achieved through a variety of methods, including:

Stem Injection – this targets the application of a controlled quantity of herbicide directly into the core of the plant between the second and third nodule. This direct targeting of the herbicidal application enables stem injection to be the least insidious method of eradication of Japanese Knotweed.

Stem injection can 100% be safely applied in an area where Tree Preservation Orders have been issued and where there are environmental constraints.

The stem injection is normally undertaken when the plant is dying back as it then draws the Herbicide into the root system. Unlike traditional spraying methods, the injection system is not weather dependant i.e heavy winds or rain.

Stem injection has no impact on any surrounding vegetation or wildlife. Stem injection is accepted and authorised by the E.A. to use on organic approved farms, without causing the loss of their organic status. Due to the labour intensiveness of stem injecting it is really on used on smaller sites or sites that carry environmental constraints such as water courses and or tree preservation orders.

Knapsack Spraying – This is perfect for large infested sites that have no environmental constraints. The Herbicide is applied directly to the plant and absorbed through the leaf and into the rhizome.

Knapsack applications are dependent on weather conditions. All Herbicide applications are carried out ‘in-house’ by our NTPC PA1 & PA6 qualified staff.

To eradicate this invasive plant requires an understanding of its growth and legislation.
