Controlling broom
Broom is a weed of national significance and is identified as being invasive, having the potential for widespread environmental, social and economical damage. Landowners and land managers at all levels are responsible for actively managing this weed.
When Cape broom is actively growing prior to pod formation, spray with Grazon Extra at 250 mL/100 L water during spring to mid summer. For an autumn or winter application, use Grazon Extra at 350 mL/100 L water for best results.
