I've got some Berry vans and priors creeping into my coastal field. Does anybody have any good experience for herbicide to kill these weeds?

Triclopyr is most often associated with the product Remedy. It (Remedy) does use a vegetable oil based carrier, so mixing it with water (cuz you probably don't want diesel, for grassy areas) might be an issue.

I have no advice other than that Roundup's active ingredient now is triclopyr. So it should be easy to find.
GSS said:
We have never used Remedy in a foliar application, only as a basal (bark) treatment, the typical diesel/Remedy mix, so can't comment as to your issue.
When we spot a "mature" honey locust, 6-8" in diameter, and kill it by a basal application, that's a testament to triclopyr effectiveness.

Any idea of names of herbicides with those incredients? Thank you

Based on the `net, the Roundup "Lawn and Garden" products are the ones w/o glyphosate. For the big box customers, most likely.
---------------------------------------------------
The new active ingredients in Roundup Lawn and Garden Products are: fluazifop-p-butyl, triclopyr TEA salt, diquat dibromide and imazapic ammonium (As per Bayer website: RoundUp Active Ingredient Safety | Bayer Global). Not all products contain all four active ingredients. Here is the use for each active ingredient:
- Fluazifop-p-butyl Post emergent herbicide for controlling grasses.
- Triclopyr TEA salt Post emergent herbicide for controlling broadleaf plants.
- Diquat dibromide Nonselective post emergent herbicide to desiccate plants. This causes visible signs of damage quickly.
- Imazapic ammonium Pre and post emergent herbicide for selected grasses and broadleaf weeds. This helps extend weed control.

Maybe research Sendero, get feedback on its use for foliar application brush/small trees.

Sendero has a lot of restrictions if you're using it in a field for hay production.
Remedy is going to be the best one for triclopyr. As someone else here said, this stuff works so well, I'm surprised the EPA hasn't found a reason to ban it.

HTown Ag 98 says I should use 2-4 d. I just asked him to make sure it doesn't hurt my Bermuda or Fescue fields.
I've always used Grazon P+D but if 2-4D works it's a lot cheaper….and I'll use that.

I've done straight 61.3% triclopyr in a foliar application on yaupon and cat brier. It will yield results much quicker than basal spray or cut stump treatment, but doesn't seem to kill the roots in more established plants.

I want to make sure I'm understanding correctly. I have been following the thread as OP seems to say his has some broadleaf vines creeping into his coastal field.
I have a Bermuda field that annually also gets broadleaf weed species growing in it. Not woody sapplings or such. Just broadleaf weed species. So you guys are saying I should be using Remedy on that? TIA.

I use Crossbow for vines and broadleaf. It is water based triclopyr and 2-4D
