Cut Stump

• Herbicide is sprayed on cut surfaces to eliminate or greatly reduce resprouts – individual plant treatment.
• Should be employed every time a tree is cut down and the stump isn’t removed.
• Leaves no brush "skeletons."
• Helps protect mechanical cutting investment.
• Use year-round except when snow or water prevent spraying to the ground level.
• Low-profile.

Application Basics:

The application method is different depending on the type of herbicide used. See the chart below:

Herbicide Type	Application Timing	Treatment Technique
Oil-based: Garlon® 4 Ultra herbicide Pathfinder® II herbicide	Anytime after cutting, including winter months. Do not make applications when snow or water prevent spraying to ground level.	Treat the exposed cambium area and the root collar (exposed bark on the side of the stump) down to the soil line. Be sure to treat the entire circumference of the tree. To ensure effective control on large trees, also treat any exposed roots (knees) that surround the stump.
Water-based: Garlon 3A herbicide Pathway® herbicide Accord® Concentrate herbicide Accord® XRT II herbicide Milestone® VM Plus herbicide Rodeo® herbicide Transline® herbicide	Treat the stump as soon as possible after cutting. If more than one hour has elapsed since the time of cutting, you will need to use one of the oil-based products.	Treat only the exposed cambium area next to the bark and around the entire circumference of the tree. Keep in mind that some herbicides are soil-active, so exercise caution to prevent off-site control.

Recommended Equipment:

• Squirt bottle
