The UK’s National Action Plan for pesticides places clear emphasis on responsible herbicide stewardship, integrating with non-chemical interventions such as mechanical sweeping and proactive maintenance.
These requirements align with an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) framework where cultural, mechanical, and targeted chemical controls are combined to manage amenity vegetation effectively and in compliance with modern standards.
Precision, low volume herbicide application delivered through the Nomix Total Droplet Control (TDC) system enables operators to meet IPM obligations while maintaining operational efficiency.
Nomix supplies the UK’s only hard surface approved residual herbicide, Nomix Dual, which delivers both foliar and residual activity. When embedded within a structured treatment programme, Nomix Dual can significantly reduce the need for retreatment and support annual glyphosate reductions of 50–70%, helping operators minimise environmental impact, without compromising efficacy or regulatory compliance.
The core of the Nomix system is Total Droplet Control, an application technology that producing uniform, low-volume application, targeted directly to vegetation. This reduces drift, runoff, and off target spraying, optimising efficiency and supporting IPM principles focused on minimising chemical input, and avoiding blanket spraying.
TDC formulations are oil based, enhancing adhesion to foliage, improving penetration, and ensuring rapid rainfastness in as little as 30 minutes. Combined foliar and residual action, using Nomix Dual, extends treatment longevity for several months, making Nomix TDC ideal for use across highways, pavements, parks, and landscaped areas.
Operational performance is further supported through lightweight backpack systems, kerbside units, and vehicle mounted equipment, paired with premixed formulations that eliminate water handling and reduce operator exposure. With over 160 UK local authorities adopting Nomix, the system delivers technically robust, compliant, and environmentally responsible weed management aligned with modern expectations.
