Tordon 75 D

Tordon 75-D will provide good control of Sicklepod (also known as Arsenic weed). Sicklepod grows to between 1.5 to 2.5m tall; it competes vigorously with sugar cane reducing yields as well as causing problems at harvest time.

Only herbicide currently registered for the control of this noxious weed in sugarcane.
May be applied by either ground rig or aircraft.

Points to Remember.

Older plants may not be completely controlled but seeding is reduced.
Clean machinery after use in infested areas to prevent seed spread.
Established seed populations may take several years to control.
Do Not harvest sugar cane for 56 days after the application of Tordon 75-D.
