Garlon 3A herbicide provides superior woody plant and broadleaf weed control while maintaining the integrity of roadsides or rights-of-way. It’s the ideal solution for controlling unwanted weeds, brush, and trees beneath electrical power lines, along railroad beds, roadsides, and pipelines, and in forestry and wildlife openings, including grazed areas on these sites.

Mowing and trimming remain essential parts of any vegetation maintenance program. However, more than mechanical maintenance is needed to protect these areas adequately. Besides being very labor-intensive, mechanical methods can cause soil compaction, leading to soil erosion. In addition, failing blades and moving parts threaten employees, livestock, and wildlife.

Mowing brush tends to cause the plants to respond by sending out multiple resprouts — the plant’s natural defense to the cutting. This only worsens the vegetation problem.

In some cases, mechanical methods cannot be used. Steep terrain may limit access by mowers, and in the case of railroads and substations, their crushed-stone construction makes mechanical weed control impossible.

Garlon 3A controls unwanted brush and eliminates resprouting. Because of this improved control, crews and heavy machinery visit the area less frequently, meaning less impact on property near yours.
