Roots Reset successfully deployed to control Japanese knotweed at Dutch railway organisation
NS Stations (Dutch railway & train station organisation) also faces Japanese knotweed on its premises. This time, Japanese knotweed was growing on a steep slope at an NS Stations station.
The steep embankment, which was plagued by Japanese knotweed, required a thoughtful approach. A thorough plan was drawn up to address the challenges of the site and the specific needs of NS Stations.
The choice of machinery played a crucial role in the success of the Roots Reset® treatment on the steep slope. Cranes were deployed as tractors would not be able to manoeuvre safely on the steep slope. This strategic decision ensured smooth execution of all operations, with a focus on precision and effectiveness.
During the implementation of the treatment, the steps of Roots Reset® were followed. From the removal of above-ground plant parts to deep drilling of CleaRoot® granulate into the soil. The oxygen-tight cover was essential on the steep terrain, and the result after the treatment was a complete absence of Japanese knotweed.
After completing the Roots Reset® process, a grass mixture was immediately sown. The result? A beautiful, healthy growth of grass without any return of Japanese knotweed. This success story not only illustrates the power of Roots Reset® as a biological solution, but also highlights its versatility on challenging sites such as steep slopes.
NS Stations can now proudly look back successful trajectory on this site, free of Japanese knotweed. Roots Reset® not only defeated Japanese knotweed on this challenging site but also proved that it can transform steep slopes into green oases of biodiversity.
