Stem injection is an alternative to herbicide spraying, which can affect other nearby plants. This method involves using specialist equipment and injecting a concentrated dose of Glyphosate herbicide into each cane of the plant.

This method of direct injection of herbicide is highly effective as it is absorbed throughout the rhizome and deep into the plant's root system, helping to completely eradicate the troublesome plant.

Stem injection is a popular technique to use in environmentally sensitive areas such as close to water. This process minimises any risk to the water and environment surrounding the plant.
