cover with plastic

 

I've had good success with using thick black plastic alone, with a good overlap, without any chemicals. Prevents regrowth by blocking out light.

Glyphosate alone on sycamore stumps has not prevented new growth appearing.

You can put Ammonium Sulfamate on stumps. landmarktrading.co.uk

 

Be careful here as AS has been withdrawn for use as a herbicide application, i.e. stump treatment, although it can still be used as a compost accelerator, or similar, I believe...hmmm!

 

ALSO remember if you are aplying any herbicide as a stump tretament then you are bound by the Pesticide Regs requiring stock controls records, usage records, correct storage in labelled pesticide store, qualifications to apply (PA1 & PA6) and probably lots more.

 

Hence we often recommend to small business contractors who don't do large scale applictaions to simply prepare the stump and then tell the owner to go to their local supplier, garden centres / DIYs etc., and purchase and apply a proprietary product themselves...problem solved.

 

Just for info.

PS I always found Triclopyr (Garlon 4) verty effective, even on Robinia which suckers profusely.
