Tree stump killer plugs by ‘Ecoplug’ are small plugs which get inserted into pre-drilled holes in the tree or stump to both kill and prevent its regrowth. You will be contacted directly by the courier to collect this sum as this transaction is between yourself and the local government with no involvement on the part of ProGreen. The Nomix Enviro Spray Record Book allows the user to easily record spray applications, complying with legislation and best practice.

Simply drill the required amount of holes with the set depth drill bit, insert the Ecoplug Max ® into the hole and then hit with a hammer to ensure the plug finishes flush with the top of the stump.

When you tap them in not bash them in, the capsule of glyphosate bursts and is delivered straight to the live wood and the hole is sealed. I have been using it for over a year now and there are no leaks and it comes off very easily with a vice grip. Compare the efficacy of Ecoplugs with conventional herbicide application, with different delays after cutting, and with and without simulated rainfall, for preventing regrowth from cut rhododendron stumps. The glyphosate is translocated through the stump and down to the roots preventing new growth and leaving the stump to gradually rot away.
