**Tordon® 22K Herbicide**
Tordon® 22K Herbicide, developed by Corteva Agriscience (EPA Registration Number: 62719-006), is a selective systemic herbicide designed for the control of noxious and invasive broadleaf weeds, woody plants, and vines. Its active ingredient, picloram, ensures effective management of deep-rooted perennials and other challenging species in various settings.
**Key Features:**
- **Broad-Spectrum Control:** Effectively targets a wide range of noxious and invasive weeds, including leafy spurge, field bindweed, Canada thistle, knapweeds, and yellow starthistle.
- **Systemic Action:** As a systemic herbicide, Tordon 22K is absorbed by the plant and translocated throughout its tissues, ensuring comprehensive control of both above-ground and root structures.
- **Long-Lasting Residual Activity:** Provides extended control of susceptible weed species, reducing the need for frequent reapplications.
**Labeled Uses:**
Tordon 22K is approved for application in the following areas:
- **Rangelands and Permanent Grass Pastures:** Manages invasive and noxious weeds to promote healthy forage production.
- **Fallow Cropland and Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) Acres:** Controls persistent weed species during non-crop periods.
- **Non-Crop Areas:** Suitable for use in forest planting sites, industrial manufacturing sites, rights-of-way (such as electrical power lines, communication lines, pipelines, roadsides, and railroads), and wildlife openings.
**Application Guidelines:**
- **Methods:** Tordon 22K can be applied using ground or aerial equipment. For optimal results, ensure thorough coverage of targeted vegetation.
- **Timing:** Apply during the active growth stages of target weeds for maximum efficacy.
- **Rates:** Application rates vary depending on the weed species and infestation severity. Refer to the product label for specific rate recommendations.
**Safety and Handling:**
- **Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):** Handlers must wear long-sleeved shirts, long pants, chemical-resistant gloves, shoes plus socks, and protective eyewear during mixing, loading, application, and equipment cleaning.
- **Environmental Precautions:** Tordon 22K is classified as a Restricted Use Pesticide due to potential groundwater contamination concerns. Avoid application near water sources and areas with porous soils.
- **Grazing Restrictions:** There are specific restrictions regarding grazing and haying treated areas. Consult the product label for detailed information.
*Note:* Always read and follow the product label instructions and adhere to state and local regulations. Consult with local agricultural extension services or crop advisors for guidance tailored to your specific region and cropping system.
