Biobarrier Root Control

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 degrades, is continuously replaced, ensuring the effectiveness and long life of the herbicide zone. While physical barriers alone can create root girdling, it stops continued root growth allowing for healthier trees. Placed beside the object to be protected, 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. Since the system includes a standard drainage fabric, it allows water, air and nutrients to pass through, not adversely affecting soil hydrology.

Biobarrier Root Control System
Used vertically, the Biobarrier root control system protects adjacent structures from root damage. Guaranteed protection for 15 years reduces the chance of injury and potential liability, as well as the costs associated with preventative maintenance and damage repair.

Biobarrier Weed Control System
Installed horizontally and covered, the Biobarrier weed control system blocks weed establishment using two layers of defense: chemical and physical. Guaranteed for 10 years, weeds are unable to develop a strong root system in the mulch layer while ornamental tree and shrub roots expand unimpeded below the Trifluralin emitting fabric layer, eliminating unwanted competition and maintenance costs.
