Foliar Treatment With Ground Equipment
High Volume Foliar Treatment
• For control of woody plants, use Garton 4 at the rate of 1 to 3 quarts per ] 00 gallons
of spray mixture, or Garton 4 at 1 to 3 quarts maybe tank mined with labeled rates
of 2,4-D low volatile ester herbicide, Tordon 101 Mixture herbicide, or Tordon
K herbicide and diluted to make 100 gallons of spray. Apply at a volume of 100
to 400 gallons of total spray per acre depending on size and density of woody
plants. Coverage should be thorough to wet all leaves, stems, and root collars.
See Table 1 for relationship between spray volume and maximum application
rate. When tank mixing, follow applicable use direcdons and precautions on each
manufacturer's label.
Low Volume Foliar Treatment
To control susceptible woody plants, mix up to 20 quarts of Garton 4 in 10 m 100
gallons of finished spray. The spray concenmation of Garton 4 and total spray
volume per acre should be adjusted according to [he size and density of target
woody plants and kind of spray equipment used. With low volume sprays, use
sufficient spray volume to obtain uniform coverage of target plants including the
surfaces of all foliage, stems, and root collars (See General Use Precautions). For
best results, a surfactant should be added to all spray mixtures. Match equipment
and delivery rate of spray nozzles to height and density of woody plants. When
treating tall, dense brash, a track mounted spray gun wtth spray tips [hat deliver
up to 2 gallons per minute at 40 to 60 psi may be required. Backpack or other
types of specialized spray equipment with spray tips [ha[ deliver less than I gallon
of spray per minute may be appropriate for short, low m moderate density brash.
See Table 1 for relationship between mining rate, spray volume and maximum
application rate.
Tank Mixing: As a low volume foliar spray, up to 12 quarts of Garton 4 may be
applied in tank mix combination with labeled rates of Tordon K or Tordon 101
Mixture in 10 to 100 gallons of finished spray.
Broadcast Applications With Ground Equipment
Make application using equipment [hat sill assure thorough and uniform
coverage of spray volumes applied.
Woody Plant Control
Foliage Treatment: Use 4 m 8 quarts of Garton 4 m enough water to make 5
or more gallons per acre of total spray, or Garton 4 a[ 1 4t to 3 quarts may be
combined with labeled rates of 2,4-D low volatile ester, Tordon 101 Mixture, or
Tordon K in sufficient water to make 5 or more gallons per acre of total spray.
Broadleaf Weed Control
Use Garton 4 at rotes of 1 m 4 quarts in a total volume of 5 or more gallons per
~cre as a water spray mixture. Apply at any time weeds are actively growing.
orlon 4 at 0.25 to 3 quarts may be tank mined with labeled rates of 2,4-D amine
or low volatile ester, Tordon K, or Tordon 101 Mixrure to improve the spectmm
of activity. For thickened (high viscosity) spray mixtures, Garton 4 can be mixed
with diesel oil or other inverting agent. When using an inverting agent read and
follow the use directions and precautions on [he product label.
Aerial Application (Helicopter Ooly)
Aerial sprays should be applied using suitable drift control (See "General Use
Precautions").
Foliage Treatment (Utility end Pipeline Rightsof-Way)
Use 4 to 8 quarts of Garton 4 alone, or 3 to 4 quarts Garton 4 in a tank mix
combination with labeled rates of 2,4-D low volatile ester Tordon 101 Mixture
or Tordon K and apply in a total spray volume of IO to 30 gallons per acre. Use
the higher rates and volumes when plants are dense or under drought conditions.
Basal Bark and Dormant Brush Treatments
To control susceptible woody plants in rights-of-way, and other non-crop areas,
and in forests, use Garton 4 in oil or ail-water mixtures prepared and applied
as described below. When preparing mixtures, use as oils either a commermally
available basal oil, diesel fuel, No. 1 or No. 2 fuel oil, or kerosene. Substitute
other oils or diluents only as recommended by the oil or diluent's manufacturer.
When mixing with a basal oil or other oils or diluents, read and fallow the use
directions and precautions on [he product label prepared by the oil or diluent's
manufacturer.
Oil Mature Sprays
Add Garton 4 to the required amount of oil in the spray tank or mixing tank and
mix thoroughly. If [he mixture stands over 4 hours, reagita[ion is required.
Oil Mixtures ofGarlon 4 and Tordon K: Tordon K and Garton 4 may be used in
rank mix combination for basal bark treatment of woody plane. These herbicides
are incompatible and will not form a stable mixture when mixed together directly
in oil. Stable tank mixtures for basal bark application can be made if each product
is firs[ combined with a compatibility agent prior to final mixing in the desired
ratio. (See product bulletin for mixing inatmetions.)
Oil-Water Mixture Sprays
Firs; premix the Garton 4, oil and surfactant in a separate container Do not allow
any water or mixtures containing water to get into the Garton 4 or [he premix.
Fill the spray tank about half full with water, then slowly add the premix with
~on[inuous agitation and complete filling the tank with water. Continue moderate
gitation.
Note: If the premix is put in the tank without any water, the first water added
may form a thick "invert" (water in oil) emulsion which will be hard to break.
Basal Bark Treatment
To control susceptible woody plants with stems less than 6 inches in basal diameter,
mix 1 to 5 gallons of Garton 4 in enough oil m make 100 gallons of spray mixture.

Apply with knapsack sprayer or power spmying equipment using low pressure
(20-40 psi). Spray the basal pans of brash and tree tmnks to a height of 12 to I S
inches from [he ground. Thorough wetting of the indicated area E necessary for
good control. Spray until mnoff at [he ground line is noticeable. Old or rough
bark requires more spray than smooth young bark. Apply at any time, including
[he winter months, except when snow or water prevent spmying to the ground
line.
Low Volume Basal Bark Treatment
To control susceptible woody plants with stems less than 6 inches in basal diameter,
mix 20 to 30 gallons of Garton 4 in enough oil to make 100 gallons of spray
mixture. Apply with a backpack or knapsack sprayer using low pressure and a
solid cone or Bat fan nozzle. Spray the basal parts of brash and tree trunks in
a manner which thoroughly wets the lower stems, including the root collar area,
but no[ m [he point of mnoff. Herbicide concentration should vary with size and
susceptibility of species Heated. Apply at any time, including the winter months,
except when snow or water prevent spmying to [he ground line or when stem
surfaces are saturated with water.
Garton 4 Plus Tordon K in Oil Tank Mix: Garton 4 and Tordon K may be
applied as a low volume basal bark treatment to improve control of certain woody
species such as ash, elm, maple, poplar, aspen, hackberry, oak, oceanspmy, birch,
hickory, pine, tanoak, cherry, locus; sassafras, and multiflom rose. (See product
bulletin for mixing instmctions.)
Streamline Basal Bark Treatment (Southern States)
To control or suppress susceptible woody plants for conifer release, mix 20 m
30 gallons of Garton 4 N enough oil to make 100 gallons of spray mixture.
Apply with a backpack or knapsack sprayer using equipment which provides a
directed straight stream spray. Apply sufficient spray to one side of stems less
than 3 inches in basal diameter to form a treated zone that is 6 inches in height.
\Vhen the optimum amount of spray mixture is applied, the treated zone should
widen to encircle the stem within approximately 30 minutes. Treat both sides of
stems which are 3 to 4 inches in basal diameter. Dirac[ fie spray at bads that
is approximately 12 to 24 inches above ground. Pines (loblolly, slash, shortleaf,
and Virginia) up m 2 inches in diameter breast height (dbh) can be controlled
by directing the spiny at a point approximately 4 feet above ground. Vary spray
mixture concentration with size and susceptibility of the species being treated.
Best results are achieved when applications are made to youngvigorouslygtowing
stems which have not developed the thicker bark chameteristic ofslower growing,
understory trees in older stands. This technique is not recommended for scmb
and live oak species, including blackjack, turkey, pos; live, bluejack and laurel
oaks, or bigleaf maple. Apply from approximately 6 weeks prior [o hardwood
leaf expansion in the spring until approximately 2 months after leaf expansion
is completed. Do not apply when snow or water prevent sprzying at the desired
height above ground level.
Low Volume Stem Bark Band Treatment (North Central and Lake States)
To control susceptible woody plants with stems less than 6 inches in basal diameter,
min 20 to 30 gallons of Garton 4 in enough oil to make 100 gallons of spray
mixture. Apply with a backpack or knapsack sprayer using low pressure and a
solid cone or flat fan nozzle. Apply the spiny in a 6 m 10 inch wide band that
completely encircles the stem. Spray in a manner that completely wets the bark,
but not to the point of mnoff The treatment band may be positioned at any height
up to the first major branch. For best results apply the band as low as possible.
Spray mixture concentration should vary with size and susceptibility of species m
be treated. Applications may be made at any time, including winter months.
Thinline Basal Bark Treatment
7o control susceptible woody plants with stems less than 6 inches in diameteq
apply Garton 4 either undiluted or mixed at 50-76 % v/v with oil in a thin stream to
all sides of the lower stems. The stream should be directed horizontally to apply
a narrow band around each stem or dump. Use a minimum of 2 m 15 milliliters
of Garton 4 or oil mixture with Garton 4 to treat single stems and from 25 to
100 milliliters to treat clumps of stems. Use an applicator metered or calibrated
[o deliver [he small amounts required.
Dormant S[em Treatment
Dormant stem treatments will control susceptible woody plants and vines with
stems less than 2 inches in diameter. Plants with stems greater than 2 inches in
diametermay not be controlled and resproudng may occur. This treatment method
is best suited for sites with dense, small diameter brash. Dormant stem treatments
of Gallon 4 can also be used as a chemical sideMm for controlling lateral branches
of larger trees that encroach onto roadside, utility, or other rights-of-way.
Mix 4 [o S quarts of Garton 4 in 2 to 3 gallons of crop oil concentrate or other
recommended oil and add this mixture to enough water to make 100 gallons of
spray solution. Use continuous adequate agitation. Apply with Radiate, OC or
equivalent nozzles, or handgun using 70 to 100 gallons of spiny per acre to ensure
uniform coverage of stems. Garton 4 may be mixed with 4 quarts of Weedone
]70 herbicide to improve the control of black cherry and broaden the spectmm
of herbicidal activity. In western states, apply anytime after woody plants are
dormant. In other areas apply anytime within ]0 weeks of budbreak, generally
Febmary through April. Do not apply m wet or saturated bark as poor control
may result.
Cut Stump Treatment
To control resprouting of cut stumps of susceptible species, mix 20 m 30 gallons
of Garton 4 in enough oil to make 100 gallons of spray mixture. Apply with a
backpack or knapsack sprayer using low pressures and a solid cone or flat fan
nozzle. Spray the root collar area, sides of the stump, and the outer portion of
the cut surface including the cambium until thoroughly wet, but not to the point
of mnoff. Spray mixture concentration should vary with size and susceptibility
