[QUOTE="MickThompson, post: 4310899, member: 3172"] First off, thank you for reading the label before using the herbicide. Triclopyr comes in 2 flavors: 3 (amine, water based) and 4(ester, oil based). As you found in the label, 4, being oil based, is used for basal bark applications. 3, the water based formulation, is the one you really want for hack and squirt. I've always run 1 part garlon 4 to 3 parts oil carrier. You can use this mix for cut stumps. The oil based formula works for bark applications because plants have waxy layers to hold in moisture, and the oil will penetrate it. Garlon 3 (amine) works better for hack and squirt because it's water based. The tissues of a tree transport nutrients in a water solution, so the herbicide is more easily mobilized throughout the plant. 1:1 is the mix for triclopyr amine and water when doing hack and squirt. Both are very useful chemicals for habitat work. [/QUOTE]
