Please Note:

  The size of the plant 

stem should be approximately 
30mm in diameter. Plants will 
normally ‘take up’ the herbicide 
within 20 minutes of the injection.

 

Holding the Stem Master upright, 
insert the needle into the stem, 
midway between the lower 
nodes 

 

Ensure the needle has pierced 
the stem on both sides.  This 
allows any pressurised water in 
the stem to escape 
 
 
 

 

Squeeze the trigger and the 
calibrated amount of herbicide 
will be delivered into the  
stem cavity 

 

Releasing the trigger 
automatically reloads the Stem 
Master with the calibrated 
herbicide dose, ready for the 
next application.

SAFETY PRECAUTION:

  Use the 

allen key supplied to tighten the 
grub screw on the needle guard, 
if it requires tightening.  The Stem 
Master should not be used without 
the needle guard attached.

Always be careful when handling 
the Stem Master, as the needles are 
extremely sharp.
