Neoprene Leggings, Walkease and More!

Hi Everyone,

I know it's been a while but things have been so busy here this ol' blog has been sadly neglected. I'll make it up to you this week with some new products!

First off, a big thank you to all the customers who have bought hundreds of products from our website http://www.magentadirect.ie/ over the last 2 months. Normally this would be our quiet period...instead it's been one of our busiest! So once again, thanks for choosing Magenta Direct for your farming products.

We have new Neoprene Leggings available now.

These pull on over your trousers but do not fully cover you, meaning they're not as uncomfortably warm during the hot weather and you have greater freedom of movement.

Heavyweight Neoprene Leggings, One Size fits all.

Next up, we have the new hoof blocks from SHOOF called Walkease.

SHOOF Walkease are a new flexible EVA block that is quick and easy to apply. It is not intented to replace other conventional claw shoes currently on the market but to provide lower cost and faster treatment for developing hoof injuries.

The Starter Kit comprises 10 Walkease blocks, a tube of special Walkease ‘superglue’, a Walkease rasp and 10 pairs of latex gloves, all packed in a useful resealable plastic container.

Watch the video below to see how simple SHOOF Walkease are to use.

Now we're off to start planning our National Ploughing Championships stand! There's no rest for the wicked!

If there's no post between now and then, enjoy the good weather wherever you are...

Hope to see you all there in September! Regards, Colm.

Dock Sprays Available at MagentaDirect.ie

Hi everyone,

As we're in the middle of spraying season I thought we'd focus this weeks post on Dock Sprays, due to the high level of enquiries we're receiving about sprays for docks.

Here at http://www.magentadirect.ie/, we sell three dock sprays.

The two most commonly sold dock sprays are Eagle (Clover Friendly Dock Spray) and High Load Mircam.


By far the most popular dock spray is EAGLE.

In GRASSLAND, Eagle will control broadleaf and curled docks from seedling to rosette stage (200 mm high or across). Where docks are growing from an established tap root it is essential that there is a good leaf area for uptake of the herbicide. If flower stems have started to develop, the field should be topped and spraying delayed until a new rosette has developed. When docks are well established or where there is a large reservoir of seed in the soil a programme of treatments may be required for long term control.


Apply in the spring/early summer or in the autumn when the grass and docks are
actively growing, and good growing conditions are expected to last for at least two
weeks after spraying. Where grass growth is poor due to drought, waterlogging, frosty
conditions or nutrient deficiencies the crop may be temporarily checked, from which it
quickly recovers.

Rate of Use: 40-60g per hectare in 200-400 litres of water.
Number of treatments: One per season.
Harvest Interval: Do not harvest for hay or silage for 21 days after spraying.
Livestock: Keep livestock out of treated area for at least 7 days after spraying.

EAGLE Dock Spray is rainfast after one hour.

More information on Eagle Dock Spray can be found HERE

==================================

The second product we sell is High Load Mircam.

High Load Mircam is a selective herbicide for the control of broad leaved in wheat, barley, oats, undersown cereal crops and established grassland.

It is most effective against Docks in the seedling stage or during the early phase of regeneration from shoots. Established perennials are difficult to kill and a second spray may be required. For long-term reduction treatment may have to be repeated the following season.


More information on High Load Mircam can be found here.

That's all for know,

As always, keep an eye out for more new products from Magenta Direct in the coming weeks!

Kind regards,

Colm Burke
