What does Tordon 22K control?

Tordon 22K controls a wide range of perrenial and annual broad leaved weeds in non-crop land. It is also effective against woody weeds and scrub. It will not harm grass when used at the correct dosage.

Difficult weeds controlled include: Japanese Knotweed, Ragwort, Thistle, Bramble & Docks.

For Use on Roads Weeds can obstruct sightlines and road signs and create a fire risk. They can cause structural damage to road surfaces, and can create a habitat for vermin. When using Tordon 22K, grass cover can be maintained to prevent soil erosion and improve aesthetic appearance.

Off-track rail

Weeds create hazardous conditions for maintenance operations on railway trackside. They can obscure sightlines and create a fire risk. Rail track structure can be damaged and weeds can also interfere with signal wires and points.

How is Tordon 22K applied? Tordon 22K is mixed with water and applied through a hand-held knapsack sprayer or vehicle mounted sprayer. For road or railway siding weed control, the best treatment time is late winter or early spring. For grassy areas such as embankments, excellent results can be achieved with treatment coinciding with periods of vigorous growth.

Care should be taken on slopes to prevent leaching into areas where desirable trees and shrubs are present.

How does Tordon 22K work? Tordon 22K contains picloram which is absorbed through plant leaves and roots. Its residual action prevents development of germinating weeds. Tordon 22K is a selective herbicide. Leaf symptoms will develop 4-10 days following treatment.
