areas. It is particularly effective against tough-to-control weeds like thistles, knapweed,
and brush species.
How does Picloram 24% SL work?
Picloram 24% SL works by
interfering with the growth processes of susceptible plants. It disrupts the plant's ability
to produce essential amino acids, leading to the inhibition of cell division and ultimately
causing the plant to die.
Is Picloram 24% SL safe to use around livestock?
When
used according to the label instructions, Picloram 24% SL is safe to use in areas where
livestock graze. However, it is important to follow all precautions and restrictions to

environmental conditions.
Can Picloram 24% SL be tank-mixed with other
herbicides?

compatibility and follow the recommended mixing ratios to avoid any potential
issues.
