Biobarrier® Root Control
System
Biobarrier Root Control System protects your hardscapes
and landscapes from damage caused by tree and shrub root intrusion. We
guarantee it for 15 years.
Biobarrier works invisibly to deflect roots. Its
nodules slowly release trifluralin, preventing root tip cell division,
which is the method by which roots grow. A small amount of trifluralin
is constantly released and as it biodegrades, is continuously replaced,
ensuring the effectiveness and long life of the herbicide zone.
Placed beside the object you wish to protect from
root damage, Biobarrier creates a zone of protection on all sides of the
nodules. Roots growing into the zone are redirected while roots outside
the zone continue to grow normally; tree health is not impacted since trifluralin
is not systemic.
Simply place Biobarrier where protection is needed.
Since the system includes a standard drainage fabric, Biobarrier allows
water, air and nutrients to pass through, not adversely affecting soil
hydrology. Complete instructions are available to ensure proper installation.
