    Q
    Remedy residual in soil
    Am I understanding correctly that Remedy travels through brushed on stems/roots into surrounding soil?
    A

    The active ingredient in Remedy Ultra Herbicide, Triclopyr, will travel through the plant, however, it is not known to leach into soil. There is a slight possibility as it does not bind extremely tight to soil, but for most, it is not an issue.

    Q
    Will Remedy Ultra Herbicide kill trees?
    A

    Over spray, or spray drift of Remedy Ultra Herbicide can harm desired plants. While a light over spray won't be enough to kill a fully matured tree, it can certainly kill the leaves it has contacted.  The tree should recover in time.

We do not recommend spraying when temperatures are below 45 degrees.

  • Asked by Rodney from Sanford, Texas
    08/22/2022
    Q
    After stem spraying small mesquite, how long do I leave it before removal to get root kill?
    Multi stem mesquite less than four feet tall
    A
    Per the manufacturer, you would want to leave it for at least a year, or as long as possible, to allow Remedy Ultra Herbicide to get as far down to the root system as possible. The manufacturer also advised the best application time is in early spring, so you may not see the best results. They also recommended to tank mix it with Sendero Herbicide. Please let us know if we can be of further assistance.

    Q
    What is the rate of Remedy Ultra Herbicide for smaller volumes of spray to treat buckthorn?
    I am a small, older woman and plan to cut the smaller buckthorn plants to the ground, then spray with Remedy Ultra. For the larger buckthorn trees someone will help me cut them to the ground. Can I spray the stumps in the same way? My Remedy Ultra supply is more than three years old. Is it still effective, perhaps with less diluting?
    A

    The mixing ratio of Remedy Ultra Herbicide is 1.28 - 1.92 fl. oz. per gallon of water for spot treatments. For smaller volume treatments, a 1 gallon hand pump sprayer needs to be used, this should not be applied using a hand held trigger spray bottle. 
     
    For stump treatments, you would use 25 fl oz to 38.4 fl oz per gallon of water, being sure to get the outer layers and cambium of the stump. You will still need to remove the stumps and root systems physically after using herbicides to stop regrowth. 

    Remedy Ultra Herbicide has a shelf life of 3 to 5 years if stored out of extreme temperatures (heat/freezing) and out of direct sunlight.

    Q
    Will Remedy Ultra Herbicide kill live oaks if treating a huisache shrub that is under the live oak?
    A

    Over spray, or spray drift of Remedy Ultra Herbicide can harm desired plants. While a light over spray won't be enough to kill a fully matured tree, it can certainly kill the leaves it has contacted. You may want to consider applying as a cut stump treatment directly to the freshly cut trunk of the shrub to prevent any overspray or drift onto exposed roots or limbs of the live oak.

    Refer to the product label for more information.

    Q
    Will Remedy kill Ginkgo trees as a foliar application? If so, what is the dosage rate?
    A

    Remedy Ultra Herbicide is not labeled to kill or control ginkgo trees. Using a non selective glyphosate herbicide and applying as a cut stump method is a very common way to kill unwated trees. Another method would be girdling which is where you remove the bark completely around the circumference of the tree. This prevents the tree from being able to transport nutrients from the leaves to the roots. 

    We would recommend consulting with a local arborist for their recommendations they have shown to be successful in your area for killing ginkgo trees or your local County Cooperative Extension Office for their herbicide recommendations.

    Q
    How much Dow Remedy Ultra do you mix per gallon for the hack & squirt method to kill trees in December?
    A

    When using Remedy Ultra Herbicide on trees, you would most likely want to use it undiluted. Our recommendation is to cut them back as much as you can, and apply the product undiluted on them where you have cut them. If that is not possible, you can make cuts into the branches and stems with a hack saw and apply the product to those cuts.
