Can anybody apply Barrier H to their own land?: Any person that is applying Barrier H to their own land can do so WITHOUT the need for a Spraying Certificate - PA1 or PA6. A person does not require to be Basis Registered to apply Barrier H to their own land.

Cost effectiveness: Barrier H will destroy ragwort at all stages of growth and any time of year, but it is obviously more cost effective for you to treat when at small seedling stage. Larger plants, especially flowering plants will require much more Barrier H and it is important to cover the whole of the plant. Just 5L of Barrier H is enough to treat up to 1600 tiny seedlings. Large flowering or large rosette stage Ragwort require much more product applied one container should be sufficient to cover up to 200 large plants and so it is more cost effective to treat when Ragwort first appears. Ensure the whole plant is well wetted but not to the point of run off.

Exclusion From Grazing: Ensure that you apply Barrier H to the whole of the Ragwort weed. After application, we recommend that animals are kept away from treated pasture for 2 weeks, or until the ragwort is completely dead and any debris (with more mature plants) has been removed. This is not because Barrier H is in any way harmful, but, because the dying ragwort becomes palatable and dangerous to animals. Remember the root is the last part of the plant to die, so be careful not to remove any dead tops too soon.

Cutting or Pulling: Time spent digging, cutting or pulling often results in encouraging the spread of Ragwort. Tiny pieces of root left behind can lead to the growth of bigger and stronger plants.

Flowering Ragwort: Barrier H can be applied to flowering Ragwort but re-growth may occur especially in moist conditions. Apply Barrier H directly to the whole of the plant to help prevent the seeding process.

Spot Treatment: Barrier H comes in a 5L container with spray attachment and is used as a spot treatment for Ragwort. It is easy to apply holding the container handle in one hand and the spray gun in the other. One single squirt is sufficient to cover a tiny seedling.

Seeds: Ragwort Seeds can lay dormant in the soil for up to 20 years. Each plant can produce up to 150,000 seeds with a 70% germination rate.

Summer application: Late June, July and August are normally when Ragwort flowers. For every flowering Ragwort, there are around 10 small seedlings or rosettes close by which need to be treated before they too become large flowering plants. Flowering plants are more difficult to kill and so it is essential that Barrier H is applied to the whole of the Ragwort but not to the point of run-off.

Winter Ragwort: Autumn, Winter and Spring are when rosettes are most visible. Grasses die back and most other weeds die off leaving the bright green Ragwort easy to see and to treat. However, to achieve the very best results, Barrier H is best applied in dry conditions.
