Bracken Control Group

Key Features

There are many reasons why controlling bracken is important, from preventing the loss of habitats and safeguarding public health, to aiding efforts in conservation and agricultural practices.

Bracken can be hard to control but there are many effective methods available. Until 13th October 2023, the use of the herbicide Asulox was the main method of bracken control. However, Asulox is no longer available.  See the Chemical Control page for more details.

With the loss of Asulox, mechanical and physical methods of bracken control must now be relied on, where these methods can be employed.

Briefings cover a range of bracken control issues and are regularly updated.
