3. Prepare weeds for treatment
Identify any weeds that you need to
prepare before treating.
If it’s necessary to stand in the treatment
patch to reach the target weeds, then
before treatment, cut down and rake to
one side any weeds that are over 30cm
high.
If you’re standing on clear ground and
the target weed is short enough that
when it collapses it will fall clear of you, then cutting down weeds
before treatment is not necessary.
If you’re using the Shrouded Electrode Module to treat near
conductive structures, then cut down any weeds that are too big to
be enclosed by the shroud.
Chop down any target weeds that are touching conductive
structures.
Rake away dry dead weeds, litter and potentially combustible
materials from the treatment site.
• Even if you’re on open ground, it may be easier to
treat the weed if it has been cut down first as this
may provide better visibility and access to its stem.
