Chemicals and application

In areas where the use of herbicide is prohibited we have developed and utilizied ‘Steamwand’ technology. Appended hereto is information about the technology. In field trails carried out in Sydney Olympic Park and Millennium Parklands, we established that Steamwand can be up to 200% faster than hand weeding and can offer a cost saving of up to 50% in certain areas.

A copy of the Field trial report is available upon request.

 

Spray equipment

Marsupial owns and uses Control Droplet Applicator (CDA) nozzles combined with ‘Enviromist’ spray domes to apply broad area chemical applications. This method reduces the chemical usage ensuring only enough chemical is applied to grass/ turf areas to kill weeds without surplus chemical solution flowing into the soil. The ‘Enviromist’ spray domes ensure zero spray drift.

The use of CDA hand held units greatly reduces Herbicide usage whist increasing application speed.
