Which is better glyphosate or triclopyr?
When to Choose Triclopyr. The main pro to using Triclopyr is that it doesn’t damage most grasses, so it is the best choice to control woody seedlings and broadleaf weeds emerging in lawns. Glyphosate is not as good at killing woody plants as Triclopyr, and fewer plants have resistance to Triclopyr vs Glyphosate.
Can I mix glyphosate and triclopyr?
A mixture of glyphosate plus triclopyr is a useful standard mix for managing most vegetation targets. It has broad activity, and low risk to non-targets, and is economical both in terms of per-acre cost and container size, for the commercial applicator or the individual landowner.
What herbicide contains glyphosate and triclopyr?
Common herbicides that have triclopyr as an active ingredient include Pathfinder, Vastlan, Remedy, Garlon and Tailspin.
How toxic is triclopyr?
Technical triclopyr acid was found to be slightly toxic by oral and dermal routes and has been placed in Toxicity Category III for these effects.
How soon can you plant after using triclopyr?
The active ingredients are glyphosate and triclopyr. One day after use, ornamentals can be planted and lawns reseeded seven days after treatment. Trees that do not bear cones can be planted after 14 days, and cone-bearing trees and shrubs should be planted 30 days after last treatment.
Does triclopyr stay in soil?
Without light, it is stable in water with a half-life of 142 days. Triclopyr breaks down relatively quickly in soils. It is mainly broken down by microbes. The soil half-life ranges from 8 to 46 days.
Is triclopyr a carcinogen?
Triclopyr is not a carcinogen or mutagen, and workers using triclopyr are free of such risks from the herbicide. The most important concern to workers is skin and eye irritation, which can be avoided with careful work habits.
How long does triclopyr stay in the soil?
The reported half-life of triclopyr in soils varies from 3.7 to 314 days, but averages 30 days, depending on the formulation applied and the specific soil and environmental conditions. If soil conditions are warm and moist, microbial metabolism can be the primary means of degradation (Newton et al. 1990).
What is a good substitute for glyphosate?
Alternative herbicides fall into 7 product categories: Natural acids (vinegar + citric acids), Herbicidal soaps, Iron-based herbicides, Salt-based herbicides, phytotoxic oils (clove, peppermint, pine, citronella), corn gluten, and combination products (including ingredients from multiple categories).
Is triclopyr safer than Roundup?
From both a human and environmental safety standpoint, Glyphosate is safer for use than Triclopyr. If Glyphosate use is a concern, consider using a natural Glyphosate alternative, such as Ammonium Nonanoate.
