I have used it on recommendation from someone local but I didn't think much of it. I followed the instructions to a T but not much died  >:(

Not heard that it is being discontinued but will check that in the morning.

Grazon is best suited to spot spraying.

There are better products available - if its for grassland that is to be grazed Pastor is probably one of the best on the market.

Grazon-90 is one of the ones that is ridiculously persistent, even down to the poo of the horses fed the hay grown in the field where it was used killing the gardener's tomato plants. 

Don't listen to the money men - they know the price of everything and the value of nothing

OK the actual situation is as follows:

All herbicides are granted a limited life licence

Grazon 90 is going through a revocation notice meaning that I (as an agent) can obtain it upto the end of October 2012. I then have 12 months to sell this product. Grazon 90 will then be revoked in November 2013 and replaced by its newer form called Grazon.

It is only a change in the label and the product will remain the same, but there will probably be a period where Grazon 90 has run out of stock, and the relabelled Grazon is not yet available.

So if you want an un-interrupted stock of Grazon in Spring 2013 I suggest you place your orders now.

From a post above - Although Grazon may have a limited effect on Brambles etc The products that should be used to control woody weeds in Grass are Kaskara and Timbrel as they have a higher concentration of the ingredient Triclopyr which is needed to kill woody weeds with a single application.
