Best brush killer that won't kill grass?

[Cord]

I would agree that Garlon 4 which is the same as Element 4 which is the chemical triclopyr butoxyethyl ester is outstanding. Use a surfactant with it and it far surpasses 2,4-d. Some states might require an applicators license so check on that.

Oofda! $100 per gallon!

Garlon 4 is sold by Forestry Supply and can't be shipped to CA, MA, VT or WA

Well, 2,4-D is good, but not that good. There are a lot of broadleaf plants it won't kill such as blackberry, clover and holly. Crossbow won't kill grass and is a good all around broadleaf killer.

Another Crossbow fan here -- I have found it works well on broadleaf weeds, brambles, saplings, etc.

The best price I have found is $130 for 2.5 gallons at my local Coop (Southern States). Crossbow is a Dow product, but the Coop product is labeled as Crossbow and is distributed by the Universal Crop Protection Alliance: Universal Crop Protection Alliance | Crossbow. The Coop price is $30 less than prices at other stores I have checked lately.

PS. There is a generic version of Crossbow called Crossroads. Unfortunately, I don't live near a RuralKing store and can't take advantage of their Crossroads' price -- $110 for 2.5 gallons Crossroad Brush Killer 2.5 Gal.- Generic Replacement for Crossbow by Turf Tech for $109.99 in Herbicides - Agricultural Chemicals & Fertilizers - Agricultural Sprayers & Chemicals - Agriculture - America's Farm and Home Store. None of my local dealers carry it, and RuralKing's shipping charges offset their lower price for me.

Do not know where you got your price from but that is not what I pay. Or even close but I buy in 2.5 gallon containers. I pay a little more than for crossbow but it works way better and is approved for forestry application which crossbow has limitations.

Crossbow will kill, or at least severly damage, cedars, which is a Bad Thing in some forestry applications. Garlon is the choice, or sometimes a mix of Garlon and 2,4-D.

No. It will not kill bamboo.

To the orig poster.....You can buy Crossbow. It does not require a license. It has 2,4-D and Triclopyr premixed and you can buy quarts.

There are several formulations of Garlon: [url]http://www.dowagro.com/PublishedLiterature/dh_0130/0901b80380130084.pdf?filepath=ivm/pdfs/noreg/010-50677.pdf&fromPage=GetDoc[/URL]. As I read their respective labels, Crossbow and Garlon 4 have the same version of triclopyr, although in different concentrations. Crossbow has a lower triclopyr concentration than Garlon 4 (16.5% versus 61.6%), but includes 2,4-d (34.4%) as an active ingredient.
