Active Ingredients
Confront specialty herbicide contains the active ingredients
triclopyr and clopyralid. Each of these controls a broad
spectrum of weeds. Triclopyr works well on many hard-tocontrol weeds such as wild violet and oxalis. Clopyralid
controls common weeds such as clover, dandelion,
narrowleaf plantain and thistle. Together, the two
chemistries form an unbeatable duo.
How to Apply
Use Confront for broadcast applications or in portable
sprayers for spot treatments from early spring through fall
when broadleaf weeds are actively growing. Tank-mix
Confront with a preemergence product such as Gallery®
specialty herbicide to increase the spectrum of broadleaf
weed control, or mix with fertilizers for application
convenience. Refer to the product label for specific rates
and recommendations.
