Bushwacker GG (L7103) is a soil acting herbicide with prolonged action for the prevention of weed growth in wine grape vineyards and apple and pear orchards in South Africa. It is a macrogranular formulation containing the active ingredient bromacil at 200 g/kg.
Bromacil is a non-selective herbicide that is absorbed through the roots and foliage of plants, inhibiting photosynthesis and causing plant death. Bushwacker GG is applied to the soil surface to create a herbicide barrier that prevents the emergence and growth of weeds.
The "GG" in the product name stands for "macrogranules", which are larger granules compared to regular granular formulations. This allows for more uniform application and distribution in the target area

Enviro Orchards refers to the concept of orchards that are managed with a focus on environmental sustainability and community engagement. Orchards provide numerous benefits, both ecologically and socially, and have seen a resurgence in interest as communities recognize their value.
Environmental Benefits
Biodiversity: Orchards support various species of flora and fauna, enhancing local biodiversity. They can serve as habitats for birds, insects, and other wildlife, contributing to ecosystem health.
Carbon Sequestration: Trees in orchards absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, helping to mitigate climate change. This is particularly important in urban areas where green spaces are limited.
Soil Health: The presence of trees can improve soil structure and fertility, reducing erosion and promoting healthier ecosystems.
Social and Economic Benefits
Community Engagement: Orchards often serve as communal spaces where people can gather, learn, and participate in activities such as fruit picking and gardening. This fosters a sense of community and belonging.
Educational Opportunities: They provide a platform for teaching traditional agricultural skills, such as pruning and grafting, and can be used for educational programs about sustainable practices.
Local Economies: Community orchards can stimulate local economies by providing fresh produce and creating opportunities for small businesses related to fruit production and processing.
ESCAPE herbicide is a non-selective herbicide primarily used for controlling a wide range of weeds in various agricultural settings. It is particularly effective against annual and perennial grasses and broadleaf weeds.
Key Features
Active Ingredient: The primary active ingredient in ESCAPE herbicide is typically glyphosate, which works by inhibiting a specific enzyme pathway (the shikimic acid pathway) that is essential for plant growth.
Application Timing: Effective application timing is crucial for controlling weeds. Weeds should be treated when they are small and actively growing, as larger weeds can escape control due to their increased tolerance to herbicides. For instance, weeds like Palmer amaranth can grow rapidly, making timely applications essential to avoid escapes.
Resistance Management: The prevalence of herbicide-resistant weed populations poses a challenge. Strategies such as using preemergence herbicides, rotating different modes of action, and integrating non-chemical methods (like cover cropping and mechanical weeding) are recommended to manage resistance effectively.
FRIXON is a herbicide used primarily for the control of various weeds in agricultural settings. It is known for its effectiveness against both broadleaf and grassy weeds, making it a versatile option for farmers and land managers.
Key Features
Active Ingredients: FRIXON typically contains a combination of active ingredients that target specific weed types. This allows for a broad spectrum of control over unwanted vegetation.
Application Timing: The timing of application is crucial for achieving optimal results. It is generally recommended to apply FRIXON when weeds are actively growing and small, as this enhances absorption and efficacy.
Resistance Management: As with many herbicides, there is a risk of developing resistant weed populations. To mitigate this, it is advisable to use FRIXON in conjunction with other weed management practices, such as crop rotation and the use of pre-emergent herbicides.
