Eradicating Japanese Knotweed

Using the stem injection process

The Stem Injection System is the most effective solution for the eradication of Japanese Knotweed.

Under licence, Stem Injection Systems is the only UK supplier of the pioneering stem injection equipment. This is fast becoming the best way to eradicate invasive, non-native, hollow cane or porous stem weeds.

Stem injection works by injecting a concentrate of glyphosate herbicide into each cane of the weed using specialist equipment specifically designed in the treatment of Japanese Knotweed. This is a new and highly effective approach.

Other methods treat invasive weeds topically, using herbicides on the surface of the folia. This is a time consuming method that can damage native plants. Because stem injection only targets the weed, the treatment can be used in watershed and environmentally sensitive areas and can be performed in all weather conditions, with the same exceptional results.
