A ‘LOGICAL’ & COST-EFFECTIVE APPROACH
TO IMPROVE UPLAND GRAZING
» » BRACKEN SPREADS AT A RATE OF 3%
per year, which doesn’t sound a great deal,
but after just eight years, this means that
a quarter of the available grazing ground
is severely restricted and land values are
consequently greatly reduced. To counter
this, an application of chemicals is one
answer and the Logic Contact 2000 Weed
Wiper provides the ideal instrument to
make every litre go a long, long way.
The use of ‘Glyphosate’ at a dilution rate
of 20:1 applied from June onwards, to full
frond in August then any time up to the
first frosts, will have a tremendous effect.
Not only will the grazing be restored and
the value of the land increased, but the

environment for ticks will be reduced, with
subsequent livestock health benefits as
well.
EASY TOWING
The wiper unit can be towed by an ATV,
UTV or 4x4 to provide a LGP system that
will not cause sward damage, even in
adverse conditions. The action of wiping
the targeted plants with its contra-rotating
brush, in an upward ‘combing’ movement
allows use of this method in windy
conditions and even when plants are wet,
as chemical is applied to the underside of
the targeted plant’s leaf.
This is an amazingly cost-effective
treatment, which will bring many benefits.
It works equally well on rushes, nettles,
thistles and a host of other weeds, while
saving clover. Have a look at the Logic
website to see before and after examples
or contact your local dealer for more
information. Prices start from £2995.
