Hyvar X

Hyvar X^® Poisoning

Hyvar X^® (Bromacil) is a potent herbicide used for general weed or brush control in non-crop areas. It is used to control perennial grasses and is specifically recommended for selective weed control in citrus groves and on pineapple plantations.

Problem: after years of Hyvar application on non-crop areas the ground becomes permanently poisoned and leaches into surrounding planting areas. When applied to bromacide-poisoned soils activated charcoal can neutralize the active ingredients within a very short period allowing these soils to be brought back into production. This is a significant benefit to the soil as well as the obvious financial benefit.

Activated charcoal works for Hyvar X and Hyvar XL as has been demonstrated on large Hawaiian pineapple plantations. (Applied at 300lbs per acre).
