Chemical Weed Killer
Horsetail ( Equisetum arvense) has a hard waxy cuticle that makes it difficult to kill with herbicides. But if you use them in the right way it’s possible to control the plant.
Using A Pre-Emergent Herbicide
A good way to control the growth of horsetail is to use the pre-emergent herbicide Casoron. It won’t kill the horsetail plants that are already growing. But it will prevent the growth of new shoots.
Use Vinegar As A Natural Weed Killer
Vinegar is good at killing horsetail above the ground. But the normal table variety isn’t strong enough to do the job. Instead, you need to get high-strength vinegar with an acetic acid concentration of around 20-30%.
Change The Soil Conditions
Horsetail thrives in wet soil that’s low in oxygen, nutrients, and pH (acidic). So the best way to control it in the long term is simple:
Prevent It From Getting Light
Like other plants, horsetail uses the process of photosynthesis to create energy for it’s growth and spread. To do this, it needs access to sunlight.
Dig And Sift
If you’re happy to start from scratch in the infested area you can try to kill horsetail weed by digging and sifting.
Killing Horsetail With Fire
Killing horsetail with fire can be an effective method. But similar to cutting the plant down, it requires commitment to the process over a period of time.
