Reduce your glyphosate use by up to 70% using Nomix Dual

Local authorities and other amenity professionals are increasingly looking for alternatives to traditional chemical spraying. Whilst these can reduce pesticide usage, they are often costly, less effective, and can raise other concerns around safety and environmental impact.

The Nomix Total Droplet Control system offers a range of benefits when compared to both conventional application of glyphosate and some of the alternative approaches being offered.

These include:

• Up to 70% reduction in glyphosate applied through an annual spray programme (based on grams of active ingredient/hectare).
• Carefully targeted herbicide application at reduced volumes with enhanced public, operator and environmental safety.
• Reduced costs through the use of long-lasting Nomix Dual residual herbicide, meaning fewer applications are needed compared to traditional glyphosate applications.
• No product mixing is required, no water is needed for dilution, and there is no requirement for diesel/petrol generators to carry out the service.

Nomix Dual

Our residual herbicide, Nomix Dual, is unique in being the only residual herbicide approved in the UK for application on hard surfaces, including kerb edges, highways, streets and pavements. This is a recognition of its superb environmental profile and the extremely low volume of residual active ingredient (<20 grams/hectare) required to deliver long-lasting control.

By using Nomix Dual, customers can meet the challenge of reducing glyphosate application whilst controlling costs and also maintaining a clean environment.

One application of Nomix Dual per year will control weeds present at the point of application and control regrowth for several months afterwards. This reduces the need for further applications of glyphosate, reducing overall volumes applied when viewed across the growing season.

A single application also reduces operational inputs. As a result, the costs associated with weed control can actually be reduced whilst delivering a reduction in herbicide usage.

Achieve a reduction in glyphosate application

By using Nomix Dual, the requirement for further application of glyphosate is dramatically reduced.

• Where three sprays of conventional glyphosate annually are replaced with one application of Nomix Dual, followed by one further application of Nomix TDC Hilite, glyphosate use is reduced by around 53%.
• Where two sprays of conventional glyphosate annually are replaced with a single Nomix Dual application, glyphosate use can be reduced by 70%.
