Pathway Herbicide
Pathway Herbicide
Pathway Herbicide is a ready-to-use cut-surface herbicide that gives complete control over unwanted trees without the need of mixing.
Pathway Herbicide, manufactured by DOW/CORTEVA, is a excellent ready to use herbicide that controls most woody plants and ensures application safety with its included blue marking dye.
Its active ingredients picloram 5.4% and 2,4-D 20.9% inhibits the plant's growth system, leading to the gradual mishapen growth and death of unwanted vegetation such as alder, aspen, and oak.
Pathway Herbicide offers an effective solution for controlling a wide range of trees in various settings while minimizing harm to desirable plants and the environment.
Tools Needed
Pathway Herbicide can be applied directly from the container, a tree injection tool, or with a spray rig for large-scale applications.
How to Use
- Step 1: Determine how much Pathway Herbicide to use by measuring the square footage of the treatment area. To do this, measure the length and width of the treatment area in feet then multiply them together (length X width = square footage). For acreage, take the square footage and divide it by one acre (square footage / 43,560 sq. ft. = acres). For tree injection applications, use 1 milliliter of undiluted Pathway Herbicide solution through the bark completely around the tree trunk at intervals of 2 to 3 inches between edges of the injector wounds. For forest sites, use 4 gallons of product per acre. Refer the label for specific application rates.
- Step 2: If you are treating areas as large as acre then load your spray rig according to its manual instructions.
- Step 3: Make tree injections near ground level when using a tree injector or 2 to 4 feet above the ground when using a Hypohatchet Injector or similar device. For stump treatments, spray or paint the cut surfaces of freshly cut stumps and stubs with undiluted Pathway Herbicide. The cambium area next to the bark is the most vital area to wet.
Where to Use
Pathway Herbicide can be used on listed unwanted trees in forests and non-cropland areas such as fencerows, roadsides, and rights-of-way.
Do not apply this product within the root zone of desirable trees unless such injury can be tolerated.
When to Use
Treatments of Pathway Herbicide can be made in any season. Maples should not be treated during the spring sap flow.
Safety Information
Pathway Herbicide is safe to use around children and pets when applied according to the product label instructions. Always wear the proper personal protective equipment (PPE) when mixing and applying this product.
Keep people and pets out of treated areas for at least 48 hours after application.
Special Considerations
No Worker Protection Standard worker entry restrictions or worker notification requirements apply when Pathway Herbicide is directly injected into agricultural plants.

Keith's Pro Tips | "With some difficult to control species such as dogwood, hickory, sugar maple, bigleaf maple, tanoak, and some firs, application to a continuous cut rather than to spaced cuts may be more uniformly effective." |
Product Drawbacks | Untreated trees can occasionally be affected by root uptake of Pathway Herbicide through movement into the topsoil or by excretion of the product from the roots of nearby treated trees. |
