Tebuthiuron 20P Herbicide
Tebuthiuron 20P Herbicide
Tebuthiuron 20P Herbicide, manufactured by Alligare, eliminates unwanted vegetation from various types of land. This product is a pellet formulation and works as a pre-emergent and post-emergent on many types of trees, shrubs, and vines to keep land from being taken over.
This product is applied to the ground where the pellets are activated by rainfall to penetrate the soil. It then works to kill seedlings and the root system to prevent further growth.
Tebuthiuron 20P Herbicide provides control from woody vegetation for up to 1 year. It is ideal for use on rangelands, pastures, and other land spaces where wooded plants can ruin habitats and grasslands.
Tools Needed
To apply Tebuthiuron 20P Herbicide, a ground spreader or aerial application equipment is needed. For spot treatments, it can be applied by hand.
How to Use
- Step 1: Determine how much Tebuthiuron 20P you will need by calculating the square footage or acreage of the area you wish to treat. You can do this by measuring and multiplying the area length and width together (length x width = square footage). To calculate acreage, take the square footage and divide by 43,560. On non-croplands, Tebuthiuron is applied at a rate of 3/8 oz. to 1 1/8th oz. per 100 sq. ft. or the equivalent broadcast rate of 10 to 30 pounds per acre. For example, if you have measured a 3,000 sq. ft. treatment area and are using the 3/8 oz. rate, you would need 11.25 ounces of Tebuthiuron to cover your entire area.
- Step 2: In a spreader, pour the correct amount of Tebuthiuron based on your target weed you wish to treat and the area being treated.
- Step 3: Spread the Tebuthiuron 20P Herbicide evenly across the land. Tebuthiuron 20P Herbicide can be applied by hand around Individual plants or small areas of woody vegetation. For areas that receive less than 20 inches of rainfall per year will only need 5 pounds of product per acre.
Where to Use
Tebuthiuron 20P Herbicide is used on rangelands, non-cropland areas, along fence lines, rights-of-way, permanent grass pastures and areas around wildlife habitats that need clearing.
When to Use
Tebuthiuron 20P Herbicide can be applied anytime during the year, unless the ground is frozen or completely saturated with water. For the best results, Tebuthiuron 20P Herbicide should be applied before active growth in the spring or before seasonal rains. Areas that receive more than 25 inches of yearly rainfall, higher applications should be made during late summer and fall. To prevent the effects from damaging wanted grasses, it is suggested to make applications during dormant season.
Safety Information
Tebuthiuron 20P Herbicide is safe to use when applied according to label directions. It is not to be used on residential areas. Always wear the proper personal protective equipment when making applications with Tebuthiuron 20P Herbicide. Do not feed treated hay to livestock for 1 year.
Special Considerations
Tebuthiuron 20P Herbicide is a strong product that will kill vegetation to the bare ground. It will also kill other surround non-targeted plants. Do not apply more than 10 pounds of Tebuthiuron 20P Herbicide per acre when the area less than 20 inches of rainfall a year.

Q:What rate or how much do you put around tree base?10/25/21A:That depends on the size of the tree canopy. Most tree’s root systems are the same size as the canopy and you need to cover that entire area. Just remember that you will have a dead zone for several years after application.

Q:Does it kill grasses around the trees or just the trees?6/26/18A:Alligare Tebuthiuron 20 P is intended for control of unwanted woody vegetation such as trees, shrubs and vines. Alligare Tebuthiuron 20 P will also control herbaceous broadleaf plants such as clover or lespedeza. Grasses in the area immediately adjacent to pellets may be temporarily damaged. Dormant season application is recommended to minimize herbicidal effects on greases and other herbaceous plants. The herbicidal activity of Alligare Tebuthiuron 20 P in soil may prevent the growth of trees, shrubs and other broadleaf vegetation for several years after treatment.

Q:We put out approx 3/4lbs. active ingredient per acre in mar.The target plants were mesquite , nightshade , cockleburrs ,sunflowes ,etc. Have had about 6in. rain this summer , & i'm not seeing results yet . How long does this take to travel through the soil ? The type soil we treated ranged from clay to sandy loam9/18/17A:Tebuthiuron 20 P Herbicide begins to kill target weeds 2 weeks after contact but can take up to several weeks for complete control all depending on treatment area and application.

Q:Is there concern about it seeping into the well system or say a small Creek that is used for irrigating?9/5/17A:With Tebuthiuron 20 P Herbicide and any other type of pesticide that is not labeled for aquatic use, you should stay at least 10 feet from a well or body of water.
