The recent addition of
Roundup to Bayer’s amenity portfolio complements their new residual herbicide
Valdor Flex and provides contractors with the complete package when it comes to
weed control.
Lewis Blois, Bayer
national account manager, says the team will be on hand at SALTEX to talk about
the recent changes to their product portfolio and provide advice around
successful weed control.
“We can now offer the
whole solution when it comes to broad spectrum weed control and our full
treatment programme works on a wide range of surfaces from open soil to gravel,
fence lines and railway ballast,” he adds.
“We’re always working
hard to bring new innovative formulations and sustainable solutions to the
amenity sector, and recent changes will help contractors to continue to
successfully manage weeds at a time when many products are being lost from the
market,” explains Lewis.
"Our new product
portfolio for the amenity sector includes Valdor Flex, Roundup® and Ecoplugs,
offering a wide range of solutions to the sector.
“Valdor Flex is a
residual herbicide offering four months weed control. It can be applied as a
pre-emergent herbicide or in post-emergent situations with Roundup®, which
provides the initial knock down, while Valdor Flex offers residual control,
preventing subsequent weeds emerging.
“Ecoplugs, which can
be inserted into tree stumps to avoid re-growth all year round, also join the
Bayer portfolio,” he says.
“At Bayer, we’re
continually investing in research and development to ensure we can provide our
customers with a wide range of innovative solutions when it comes to weed
control and recent updates to the product portfolio will provide many benefits
to amenity contractors,” concludes Lewis.
