TRICLOPYR
<br />n
<br />vine or big leaf), oaks, pines, or winged elm; during late summer applications when plants
<br />are mature; or during drought; use higher rates of Alligare Triclopyr 4 alone or use in com-
<br />bination with Tordon` 101 Mixture or Tordon' or Picloram K. If lower rates are used on
<br />hard -to -control species, re -sprouting may occur in the year following treatment..
<br />If easy to control brush species dominate, rates less than those specified may be effective.
<br />Consult state or local extension personnel for information.
<br />When making applications of Alligare Triclopyr 4 in a tank mix with 2,4-D low volatile ester
<br />herbicide, use higher rates of Alligare Triclopyr 4 within the range for satisfactory brush con-
<br />trol.
<br />When tank mixing, refer to the individual product labels for precautionary statements, restric-
<br />tions, specified rates, approved uses, and a list of weeds and woody plants controlled..
<br />Folfar Applications with Ground Equipment
<br />High Volume Folfar Applications
<br />For control of woody plants, apply Alligare Triclopyr 4 at 1 to 3 quarts per 100 gallons of
<br />spray mixture. Coverage should be thorough to wet all leaves, stems, and root collars. See
<br />Table in RATES section for relationship between mixing rate, spray volume and maximum
<br />application rate.
<br />Tank Mixing: 1 to 3 quarts of Alligare Triclopyr 4 may be tank mixed with labeled rates of 2,4-
<br />D low volatile ester herbicide, Tordon' or Picloram K, or Tordon` 101 Mixture diluted to make
<br />100 gallons of spray. These applications should be made in 100 to 400 gallons of total spray
<br />per acre depending on size and density of woody plants. When tank mixing, refer to the indi-
<br />vidual product labels for precautionary statements, restrictions, specified rates, approved uses,
<br />and a list of weeds and woody plants controlled,
<br />Low Volume Folfar Applications
<br />For control of woody plants, mix up to 20 quarts of Alligare Triclopyr 4 in 10 to 100 gallons
<br />of spray solution. Adjust the spray concentration of Alligare Triclopyr 4 and total spray vol-
<br />ume per acre to match the size and density of target woody plants and kinds of spray
<br />equipment used. With low volume sprays, use sufficient spray volume to obtain uniform cov-
<br />erage of target plants including the surfaces of all foliage, stems, and root collars. For best
<br />results, a surfactant should be added to all spray mixtures, See the SPRAY ADDITIVES sec-
<br />tion for a rate recommendation.
<br />Match equipment and delivery rate of spray nozzles to height and density of woody plants„
<br />When treating tall, dense brush, a truck mounted spray gun with spray tips that deliver up to
<br />2 gallons per minute at 40 to 60 PSI may be required. Backpack or other types of special-
<br />ized spray equipment with spray tips that deliver less than 1 gallon of spray per minute may
<br />be appropriate for short, low to moderate density brush, See Table in RATES section for rela-
<br />tionship between mixing rate, spray volume and maximum application rate.
<br />Tank Mixing: Up to 12 quarts of Alligare Triclopyr 4 may be applied in tank mix combina-
<br />tions with labeled rates of Tordon' or Picloram K, or Tordon' 101 Mixture as a low volume
<br />foliar spray. These applications should be made in 10 to 100 gallons of spray solution, When
<br />tank mixing, refer to the individual product labels for precautionary statements, restrictions,
<br />recommended rates, approved uses, and a list of weeds and woody plants controlled.
<br />Broadcast Application With Ground Equipment
<br />Use equipment that will assure thorough and uniform coverage at spray volumes applied.
<br />Woody Plant Control
<br />Foliage Treatment: Apply 4 to 8 quarts of Alligare Triclopyr 4 in a minimum of 5 gallons of
<br />spray solution per acre. Alligare Triclopyr 4 at 1.5 to 3 quarts per acre may be tank mixed with
<br />labeled rates of 2,4-D low volatile ester. Tordon' 101 Mixture, or Tordon' or Picloram K in a
<br />minimum of 5 gallons of spray solution per acre. When tank mixing, refer to the individual
<br />product labels for precautionary statements, restrictions, recommended rates, approved
<br />uses, and a list of weeds and woody plants controlled.
<br />Broadleaf Weed Control
<br />Apply 1 to 4 quarts of Alligare Triclopyr 4 in a minimum of 5 gallons of spray solution per
<br />acre, Apply at any lime weeds are actively growing. Alligare Triclopyr 4 at 0.25 to 3 quarts
<br />per acre may be tank mixed with labeled rates of 2,4-D amine or low volatile ester; Tordon'
<br />or Picloram K; or Tordon" 101 Mixture to improve the spectrum of activity. For thickened
<br />(high viscosity) spray mixtures, Alligare Triclopyr 4 can be mixed with diesel oil or other
<br />inverting agent, When using an inverting agent, read and follow the use directions and pre-
<br />cautions on the product label, When tank mixing, refer to the individual product labels for
<br />precautionary statements, restrictions, recommended rates, approved uses, and a list of
<br />weeds and woody plants controlled.
<br />Aerial Application (Helicopter Only) - Aerial sprays should be applied using suitable drift
<br />control. See the SPRAY ADDITIVES and the APPLICATION EQUIPMENT AND TECH-
<br />NIQUES section.
<br />Foliage Treatment (Utility and Pipeline Rights-ot-Way) — Apply 4 to 8 quarts of Alligare
<br />Triclopyr 4 alone per acre or tank mix 3 to 4 quarts per acre of Alligare Triclopyr 4 with
<br />labeled rates of 2,4-D low volatile ester; Tordon' 101 Mixture; or Tordon' or Picloram K. Do
<br />not apply more than 2 quarts per acre of Alligare Triclopyr 4 alone or in tank mix to areas
<br />that may be grazed unless the requirements specified in the General Use Restrictions sec-
<br />tion are followed. Apply in total spray volume of 1 to 30 gallons per acre, Use the higher rates
<br />and volumes when plants are dense or under drought conditions. When tank mixing, refer to
<br />the individual product labels for precautionary statements, restrictions, recommended rates,
<br />approved uses, and a list of weeds and woody plants controlled.
<br />Basal Bark and Dormant Brush Treatments
<br />To control woody plants in rights -of -way, in other non -crop areas, forests, rangeland and per-
<br />manent grass pastures; use Alligare Triclopyr 4 in oil or oil -water mixtures prepared and
<br />applied as described in the "Mixing Directions —Oil Mixture Sprays for Basal Treatment" sec-
<br />Nru rtr Mt ww
<br />tion of this label. Do not graze treated areas following use of oil or oil -water mixtures. For
<br />non-foliar applications on rangeland and permanent grass pastures, apply no more than 2
<br />quarts of Alligare Triclopyr 4 (2 lb. as of triclopyr) per acre per year.
<br />Oil Mixture Sprays - Add Alligare Triclopyr 4 to the required amount of oil in the spray tank
<br />or mixing tank and mix thoroughly.. If the mixture is allowed to stand for more than 4 hours,
<br />agitation is required.
<br />Oil -Water Mixture Sprays - Prepare a premix of Alligare Triclopyr 4, oil, and surfactant in a
<br />separate container. Do not allow any water or mixtures containing water to get into the
<br />Alligare Triclopyr 4 or the premix. Mix in spray tank as follows:
<br />1. Fill spray tank 1h full with water.
<br />2. Begin tank agitation and continue throughout mixing and spraying.
<br />3. Add premix
<br />4. Continue moderate agitation.
<br />5, Fill remainder of spray tank.
<br />Note: If the premix is put in the tank without any water, the first water added may form a thick
<br />"invert" (water in oil) emulsion which will be hard to break.
<br />Oil - Water Mixtures of Alligare Triclopyr 4 and Tordon" or Picloram K: When mixed
<br />together in oil, these herbicides are incompatible and will not form a stable mixture. Stable
<br />tank mixtures of Alligare Triclopyr 4 and Tordon' or Picloram K for basal bark application can
<br />be made if each product is first combined with a compatibility agent prior to final mixing in oil
<br />in the desired ratio. (See product bulletin for mixing instructions.)
<br />Basal Bark Treatment - To control susceptible woody plants with stems less than 6 inches
<br />in basal diameter, mix 1 to 5 gallons of Alligare Triclopyr 4 in enough oil to make 100 gallons
<br />of spray solution. Apply with knapsack sprayer or power spraying equipment using low pres-
<br />sure (20-40 PSI). Spray the basal parts of brush and tree trunks to a height of 12 to 15 inches
<br />from the ground. Thorough wetting is necessary for good control. Spray until runoff at the
<br />ground line is noticeable. Old or rough bark requires more spray than smooth young bark.
<br />Apply at any time, including the winter months, except when snow or water prevents spray-
<br />ing to the ground line.
<br />Low Volume Basal Bark Treatment - To control susceptible woody plants with stems less
<br />than 6 inches in basal diameter, mix 20 to 30 gallons of Alligare Triclopyr 4 in enough oil to
<br />make 100 gallons of spray solution. Apply with a back pack or knapsack sprayer using low
<br />pressure and a solid cone or flat fan nozzle. Spray the basal parts of brush and tree trunks in
<br />a manner which thoroughly wets the lower stems, including the root collar area, but not to the
<br />point of runoff. Herbicide concentration should vary with size and susceptibility of species
<br />treated., Apply at any time, including the winter months, except when snow or water prevents
<br />spraying to the ground line or when stem surfaces are saturated with water.
<br />Alligare Triclopyr 4 Plus Tordon" or Picloram K in Oil Tank Mix —Alligare Triclopyr 4 and
<br />Tordon' or Picloram K may be applied as a low volume basal bark treatment to improve con-
<br />trol of certain woody species such as ash, elm, maple, poplar, aspen, hackberry, oak,
<br />oceanspray, birch, hickory, pine, tanoak, cherry, locust, sassafras, and multiflora rose. (See
<br />product bulletin for mixing instructions,)
<br />Streamline Basal Bark Treatment - To control or suppress susceptible woody plants, mix
<br />20 to 30 gallons of Alligare Triclopyr 4 with 10 % penetrant such as Cide-Kick or similar pen-
<br />etrant in enough oil to make 100 gallons of spray solution. Apply with a backpack or
<br />knapsack sprayer using equipment which provides a directed straight stream spray. For
<br />stems less than 3 inches in basal diameter, apply sufficient spray to one side of the stems
<br />to form a treated zone that is 6 inches in height, When the optimum amount of spray mix-
<br />ture is applied, the treated zone should widen to encircle the stem within approximately 30
<br />minutes.
<br />Treat both sides of stems which are 3 to 4 inches in basal diameter. Direct the spray at bark
<br />that is approximately 12 to 24 inches above the ground. Pines (loblolly, slash, shortleaf, and
<br />Virginia) up to 2 inches in diameter breast height (dbh) can be controlled by directing the
<br />spray at a point approximately 4 feet above ground. Vary spray mixture concentration with
<br />size and susceptibility of the species being treated.
<br />Best results are achieved when applications are made to young vigorously growing stems
<br />which have not developed the thicker bark characteristic of slower growing, under -story
<br />trees in older stands. This technique is not recommended for scrub and live oak species,
<br />including blackjack, turkey, post, live, bluejack and laurel oaks, or bigleaf maple. Apply from
<br />approximately 6 weeks prior to hardwood leaf expansion in the spring until approximately 2
<br />months after leaf expansion is completed. Do not apply when snow or water prevent spray-
<br />ing at the desired height above ground level.
<br />Low Volume Stem Bark Band Treatment (North Central and Lake States) - To control
<br />susceptible woody plants with stems less than 6 inches in basal diameter, mix 20 to 30 gal-
<br />lons of Alligare Triclopyr 4 in enough oil to make 100 gallons of spray mixture. Apply with a
<br />backpack or knapsack sprayer using low pressure and a solid cone or flat fan nozzle, Apply
<br />the spray in a 6 to 10 inch wide band that completely encircles the stem. Spray in a manner
<br />that completely wets the bark, but not to the point of runoff. The treatment band may be posi-
<br />tioned at any height up to the first major branch., For best results apply the band as low as
<br />possible. Spray mixture concentration should vary with size and susceptibility of species to
<br />be treated. Applications may be made at any time, including winter months,
<br />Thinline Basal Bark Treatment- To control susceptible woody plants with stems less than
<br />6 inches in diameter, apply Alligare Triclopyr 4 either undiluted or mixed at 50-75 % vN with
<br />oil in a thin stream to all tOrfes of the lower stems. The stream should be directed horizon-
<br />tally to apply a narrow band around each stem or clump. Use a minimum of 2 to 15 milliliters
<br />of Alligare Triclopyr 4 or oil mixture with Alligare Triclopyr 4 to treat single stems and from 25
<br />to 100 milliliters to treat clumps of stems, Use an applicator metered or calibrated to deliver
<br />the small amounts required.
