The Benefits of Managing Hard-to-Kill Brush

Manage Hard-to-Kill Brush With a Better Treatment Plan

Print page

Envu products make it simple to develop a treatment plan for obstructive and hard-to-kill brush that interferes with roadside management and utilities. Incorporating Envu herbicides into your management program is a reliable way to help increase savings, improve utility restoration after storm events, and promote a more native and early successional habitat.

// Improve Restoration Time

Brush and trees on utility rights-of-way can cause access problems for crews and slow the restoration of power to utility customers when outages occur. Mowing and trimming are just temporary solutions to a recurring issue that results from natural plant growth. By developing a treatment plan with Envu products like Method® 240SL herbicide and Escort® XP herbicide, you can invest in a long-term solution to improve the condition of rights-of-way and help utility crews be more efficient with brush and tree management. This approach also provides much-needed support for an early successional plant habitat used by many desirable pollinators and wildlife species.

// Lower Operational Costs

Envu solutions are designed with low use rates, meaning fewer applications can provide longer-lasting control for hard-to-kill brush. Successfully clear tough brush species from utility and highway rights-of-way while supporting desirable vegetation and natural habitats. By reducing the need for frequent maintenance, you’re able to improve your cost and labor efficiencies for your operation.

// Proactively Manage Roadside Brush and Trees

Individual plant treatments (IPTs) are a proactive first step to prevent encroachment and avoid the need for heavy clearing operations later. Method 240SL and Escort XP are excellent products for IPTs that provide selective control of hard-to-kill brush species on back slopes. This approach can reduce or eliminate the need to do repetitive mechanical mowing operations. 

// Expand Your Options

Even the toughest invasive brush species meet their match against the broad-spectrum control Envu products offer. Choose from a wide variety of scientifically proven products with broad application techniques and timelines. For ultimate flexibility, you can work with a Envu representative to create a custom blending program unique to your needs.

Whether you manage vegetation for utilities or roadsides, a Envu rep can assess your needs to develop a specific treatment plan that controls hard-to-kill brush while focusing on the long term.
