Control Tips

Gusto Woody and Noxious Weed Herbicide is registered to control Eucalyptus Spp. Seedlings and regrowth from small lignotubers, 1 to 3 meters tall.

When using Gusto in a Hand Gun Application:


  • Spray to thoroughly wet all the foliage but not to cause run off
  • Apply the higher rate of Gusto where difficult to control species of Eucalyptus regrowth are present.
  • Spray when the plant is actively growing
  • Use a high quality non ionic wetting agent like Weed Forces Holdfast for best results helping to improve wetting and herbicide penetration of the plant foliage

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