The season for spraying bracken with Asulam opened on 1st July 2018. This treatment should be applied before the plant starts to die back, and in dry conditions this is likely to take place earlier than in wetter years.
The 120-day emergency authorisation for applying asulam runs until 10th September, but any stocks remaining can be applied until the end of October, or ifs in unopened containers asulam can be returned to the original distributor. Once again, it will be illegal to hold stocks of asulam after 31st October 2018.
