Triumph 22K Picloram Herbicide

Triumph 22K Herbicide, manufactured by Alligare, is a powerful tool for rangeland and pasture brush control.

This post-emergent herbicide contains the active ingredient Picloram 24.4% and is used by land managers and those in agricultural settings to clear weeds, brush, and invasive trees. 

Triumph 22K Herbicide is a long-lasting herbicide that effectively controls emerged broadleaf weeds, woody plants, and vines on many sites within several days. 

Tools Needed

You will need to dilute the product in an appropriate sprayer. For smaller applications, a pump sprayer or backpack sprayer will do. For larger applications, use a professional pesticide spray rig.

How to Use

• Step 1:  Figure out how much Triumph 22K you will need by measuring the square footage of the treatment area. To do this, measure the treatment area's length and width 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 spot treatments, you will need to mix anywhere from 1/10 fl. oz. to 3/4th fl. oz. of Triumph 22K Herbicide in 1 gallon of water depending on the spray volume required to treat 1,000 sq. ft. Broadcast application rates can vary from 0.5 pints to 4 pints of product per acre. Most seedling-staged annual weeds can be controlled at a rate of 1 pint per acre with enough water to ensure thorough coverage, usually around 10 or 15 gallons. Refer to the label for specific application rates and restrictions. 
• Step 2: In your selected sprayer, add half the amount of water to the spray tank and then the appropriate amount of Triumph 22K. Here, you should also add a selected surfactant as suggested by the label and agitate the sprayer to make sure the solutions are mixed well.
• Step 3: Spray the application to targeted areas where brush or target weeds are growing, preferably on a fan spray setting for uniform coverage. If trying to control an invasive tree, you will need an oil-based carrier and perform a cut-stump treatment. Apply enough spray to wet the trunk's lower 12 to 15 inches, including the root collar. Spray a coating like you would spray paint.

Where to Use

Triumph 22K Herbicide can be used on rangelands, permanent grass pastures, and conservation reserve program (CRP) acres (including fence rows and non-irrigation ditch banks within these areas). You can apply anywhere you need to control undesirable woody plants and annual and perennial broadleaf weeds.

When to Use

Apply when dealing with woody plants or brush on your rangelands and pastures. For best results, apply when plants are actively growing, typically early in the summer. Apply at least ten days before leaf color change in late summer. Application in late summer or periods of dry weather, when plants are not actively growing, may result in unsatisfactory control.

Safety Information

Triumph 22K 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.

Do not allow people or pets to enter the treated area until the spray has dried. 

Special Considerations

This is a restricted-use herbicide, which means that you need a license to purchase it. Picloram has also recently changed its name to Triumph 22K.
