Introducing Di-Bak AM: A revolutionary breakthrough in woody weed control

Australia’s battle against invasive woody weeds has found its champion in Di-Bak AM Herbicide. More than your average weed control product, Di-Bak AM contains a game-changing, dual-active ingredient formulation and is applied in an efficient and environmentally safe way.

Di-Bak AM is set to revolutionise how landowners, contractors, councils, and households approach weed control.

What is Di-Bak AM?

Di-Bak AM is a targeted tree control herbicide for invasive and problematic species, available in capsule form. It’s been designed specifically for direct injection into unwanted trees via their stems, which allows active ingredients to move through the vascular system quickly and effectively.

It contains two active ingredients, aminopyralid and metsulfuron-methyl, which when combined, offer non-selective herbicidal action from the inside-out. 

Because of the capsule format, there’s no drift, which makes Di-Bak AM particularly effective in contexts where precision and environmental safety are priorities. These include forestry, pasture, commercial, industrial, and public settings. 

Has Di-Bak been tested for use in Australia? 

Di-Bak AM has been rigorously tested in every Australian state and territory in a series of trials carried out across all seasons and in various weather conditions. 

Participants include some of the agricultural industry’s trusted and most experienced voices: the University of Queensland, the Queensland Department of Primary Industries, local councils, and land care groups. Many trials have also consulted individual landholders, forestry industry bodies, and independent contractors to gather data. 

This extensive trial work demonstrates that Di-Bak AM delivers. In fact, throughout the testing period, there wasn’t a single weed tree species that Di-Bak AM failed to control effectively. 

Why choose Di-Bak AM to control weed trees? 

What sets Di-Bak AM apart isn’t just its high efficacy – it’s the way it works. 

This is made up of two key components: the capsule format and its dual mode of action.

Capsule format

Di-Bak’s encapsulated delivery system is a breakthrough in targeted weed control, providing a sealed mode of action where the herbicide works inside the plant, killing it from within. 

This method eliminates the risk of spray drift and run-off, common challenges of traditional formats that can cause serious harm to beneficial plants and organisms, as well as hazards to the people applying them. 

This ensures Di-Bak AM’s safety for use in environmentally sensitive areas like: 

• Agricultural settings
• Riparian zones (alongside waterways, wetlands, creeks, etc.) 
• National parks 
• Roadside vegetation areas
• Residential backyards 
• Community locations
• Conservation and rehabilitation projects

Whether you’re working for a local council to maintain public spaces, a farmer managing regrowth, or a homeowner trying to eradicate an invasive tree in your backyard, Di-Bak AM’s capsule format offers a powerful and responsible solution.

Dual mode of action

The other reason Di-Bak AM is proving to be so effective is its dual mode of action. 

The combination of aminopyralid and metsulfuron-methyl targets woody weed species more comprehensively than single-active products, and consequently, ensures the job gets done right the first time. 

Notably, this reduces the risk of resistance, and also improves the chances of total plant death. In a market full of herbicides that often require multiple applications or cause collateral damage to surrounding vegetation, Di-Bak AM is certainly the smart choice. 

How to buy and apply Di-Bak AM

Purchasing Di-Bak AM

Di-Bak AM comes in several pack sizes, each suited to different contexts: 

• 40 capsule pack: A great option for homeowners looking for a reliable, easy-to-use solution for backyard tree control. 
• 200 capsule pack: Best for contractors working with occasional tree kill projects, or smaller operations where there are several undesirable trees.
• 1,000 capsule pack: Ideal for large-scale control products and ongoing tree weed management across broad landscapes. 

If you’re not sure which capsule pack size to purchase, the general rule recommended by Di-Bak AM’s manufacturer is one capsule for every 10cm of the tree’s trunk circumference. To work this out, measure the circumference of the tree in centimetres, then divide it by 10 to find the number of capsules. 

Using Di-Bak AM

When you choose Di-Bak AM, there are no bulky sprayers, no complex mixing procedures, and no risks of affecting non-target plants.

The Di-Bak AM product label contains clear application instructions as follows: 

• Calculate how many Di-Bak capsules you’ll need by measuring the circumference of the tree and dividing the number by 10. 
• Using an InJecta applicator, drill holes in the target tree at 10cm centres around the tree’s circumference. 
• Deliver one Di-Bak AM capsule into each hole, in the sapwood layer beneath the bark. 
• Ensure capsules are inserted below any branching. Alternatively, remove or treat all branches below the capsule insertion. 
• On multiple-trunk trees, always treat each trunk.
