Bumper Crop

[hurleyjd]

I spot sprayed some small berry vines and small trees with regulate. Around at least 25 feet from a fig tree. Looks as if I have killed a nice fig tree right outside of the office window. Using a pump up sprayer and being careful to keep the regulate where I was spraying. Any way I guess it gassed up and moved around.

That is a new one on me..what kind of herbicide is Regulate?
Active ingredient?

Triclopyr is volatile. I think the label on Garlon 4 says volatile above 80 degrees F. Some plants are more sensitive to it than others. Grape vines are highly sensitive to volatilized triclopyr and so are young longleaf pine trees if you spray it within 10-15 ft of their crown, especially when they're candleing.
