Corteva Confront Herbicide

Description:

Corteva Confront is a selective post-emergence herbicide formulated to control a wide range of broadleaf weeds and brush species. With active ingredients Triclopyr and Clopyralid, Confront is designed to offer effective and long-lasting weed control in pastures, rangeland, non-crop areas, and natural areas. The combination of these two powerful active ingredients ensures both systemic and contact activity, making it ideal for tough-to-manage weeds.

Active Ingredients:

• Triclopyr: A systemic herbicide that translocates through the plant to control perennial and woody plants.

• Clopyralid: Targets broadleaf weeds and is effective on both annual and perennial species.

Benefits:

• Effective on a Broad Range of Weeds: Targets a variety of both broadleaf and woody species, making it ideal for integrated weed management programs.

• Systemic Action: Triclopyr works by moving through the plant to eliminate roots and prevent regrowth, while Clopyralid targets specific weed growth points.

• Reduced Application Frequency: Due to its long-lasting effects, Confront typically requires fewer applications.

• Minimal Impact on Grass: It selectively controls weeds while being safe for grasses, making it suitable for pasture and rangeland use.

Application Rates:

Restrictions:

• Do not apply Confront when rain is expected within 24 hours.

• Avoid spraying during windy conditions to prevent drift onto desirable plants.

• Do not apply on areas with sensitive crops, including legumes and grasses used for seed production.

• Adhere to local regulations for herbicide use and consult with state authorities regarding specific restrictions in sensitive areas like wetlands.

• Do not apply if soil erosion is likely to occur, as runoff could damage non-target plants.

• Avoid grazing treated areas until the recommended reentry period has passed (check product label).

• Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from children, animals, and food sources.

• First Aid: In case of skin contact, wash immediately with soap and water. If inhaled, move to fresh air. If ingested, call Poison Control or seek medical attention immediately.
