Control Tips

Gusto Woody and Noxious Weed Herbicide is registered for the control of  1-3m tall Casuarina spp. 

When using Gusto in a high volume spraying situation:


  • Spray all leaves and stems just to the point of runoff.
  • Spray actively growing plants
  • Use a high quality wetting agent like Weed Forces Holdfast to help improve wetting and herbicide penetration of the plant foliage

  • DO NOT spray when the plant is stressed (i.e. Drought, physical damage, insect damage etc)
