Why Is Estate a Good Replacement for Bin Die?
Although we’re disappointed to see Bin Die discontinued, we’re pleased to offer Estate Herbicide as a reliable alternative. Estate provides effective control of the same broadleaf weeds and is safe to use on Australia’s most common lawn varieties.
What Is Estate Herbicide?
Estate Herbicide is a new herbicide from Syngenta that combines three active ingredients (MCPA, Clopyralid and Diflufenican) to treat a range of hard-to-kill broadleaf weeds such as Clover and Bindii.
Estate is safe for use on a broad range of grasses, including Buffalo, Kikuyu, Zoysia, Couch and cool-season grasses. Like the discontinued Bin Die, the Estate Herbicide comes in a concentrate that is best applied through a knapsack or pressure sprayer.
What Weeds Will Estate Herbicide Treat?
Estate Herbicide will treat a range of broadleaf weeds including White Clover, Plantain, Capeweed, Cat’s Ear, Bindii, Cudweed and Creeping Oxalis.
How Do I Apply Estate Herbicide?
When applying Estate Herbicide, it is best first to work out how many m² you want to cover. After this, you can then find out how much of the product to use. The application rate for Estate Herbicide is 50ml of Estate, mixed with 2-5L of water and evenly sprayed over 100m2.
How To Get the Most Out of Your Herbicide Application
To ensure you are getting the most out of your application, apply when the lawn has not been mown for 3-4 days in the lead up to your application. By doing this, there will be more leaf present to absorb the herbicide. The same goes for after application, delay mowing for 3-4 days. This will help ensure the product has made its way throughout the entire plant before the leaf is mown.
When applying, it is best to apply in the cool hours of the day, either in the morning or the afternoon. Avoid application when the sun is at its hottest or when temperatures are above 30 degrees, as this is when burning is more likely.
