Dow AgroSciences Tordon RTU Herbicide Quart 32 oz — Ready-to-Use Cut-Stump Control, Long-Lasting

Dow AgroSciences RTU548 Tordon RTU Herbicide QT is a ready-to-use, 32-ounce herbicide formulated for targeted cut-stump and cut-surface treatments to control unwanted trees and woody plants on non-crop areas.

This ready-to-use liquid is built for selective application where you need long-lasting control without mixing or measuring. Designed for use on fence rows, roadsides, rights-of-way, and other non-crop locations, it simplifies treating freshly cut stumps and exposed cambium to prevent re-sprouting. The product comes pre-measured in a convenient quart-sized container to reduce preparation time and improve accuracy for land managers, utility crews, and property owners managing trees and brush.

How should I apply RTU548 to ensure effective cut-stump control?

Apply RTU548 directly to the freshly cut surface of the stump and any exposed root collars immediately after cutting. Make sure the cambium ring and outer wood are thoroughly wetted so the active ingredient can be absorbed and transported, preventing resprouting.

• Use a paintbrush, sprayer, or pourer to coat the entire cut surface.
• Treat within minutes of cutting for best uptake.
• Reapply only if the treated surface is disturbed or washed away.

Which locations and species is this product suitable for?

RTU548 is intended for use on non-crop and non-residential areas such as fence lines, rights-of-way, road shoulders, and forest management zones. It is formulated to control many woody plants and unwanted trees through cut-surface and stump treatments rather than broadcast foliar spraying.

• Effective on freshly cut stumps of trees and shrubs along fence rows and roadsides.
• Appropriate for forested property management and utility corridor maintenance.
• Not intended for crop fields or residential lawn broadcast applications.

What safety and handling steps should I follow when using this herbicide?

Because RTU548 is a potent herbicide, always read and follow the label directions and wear recommended personal protective equipment during handling and application. Avoid direct contact with skin and eyes, and shield nearby desirable vegetation and water sources from accidental contact.

• Wear gloves, protective eyewear, and long sleeves during application.
• Do not apply near open water or to sensitive non-target plants.
• Store the quart container upright in a cool, dry, locked area away from children and pets.

Who is this product for? Land managers, fence-line caretakers, utility maintenance crews, and property owners who need a precise, ready-to-use solution for preventing re-sprouting after cutting trees and brush will find RTU548 practical and time-saving. Its premeasured quart size and cut-surface design make it ideal for spot treatments where control is required without mixing, and where targeted application minimizes impact on surrounding vegetation. Always consult the product label and local regulations before use to ensure compliant and effective application.
