RE: Crosswbow-wasCAN THEY CHANGE TO A DIPLOID?


Hi Mike

 

Here’s what is in Crossbow

 

Crossbow (triclopyr ester + 2,4-D ester). Crossbow is a prepackaged mixture of two herbicides used as a foliar spray to control brush at full leafout from the spring through September. Crossbow plus diesel fuel is useful as a stump spray and a basal bark treatment. For best results from the basal bark treatment, apply to brush stems less than 6 inches in diameter during winter or early spring. For better control of regrowth from larger trees, cut larger trees and treat the stumps. Crossbow is a good general brush control product which controls or suppresses the growth of some oaks, locust, willow, blackberries, and mulberry. It provides poor foliar control of sassafras and persimmon.

 

I’d be very reluctant to use anything containing 2,4-D as neurological researchers I used to work with think it is implicated in long term neurological damage

Going by memory only...Crossbow is for woody weeds or brush and broadleafs, I think it doesn't harm grasses but am not sure.  We have done a lot research on chemical control of weeds so a lot of these brand names are running together in my mind.

In addition to the 2-4 D Crossbow has another chemical in it but I can't remember what it is.  

I am not familiar with Crossbow.  Does it Not kill grass, only the weeds, like 24D did.  We always used 24D inour roadside ditch area in Nebraska & people would ask how we got our ditch to look so good.
