Anybody know how to kill bamboo?

[KokomoDave]

Cut it. Pour Tordon on the cut end. Tordon can be purchased at Big R, Rural King, etc. plus it is a neat shade of blue!

I would like to plant some of it for my K9 to try to destroy!

Tordon at Rural king. About $15

Tordon RTU Cut Stump Killer - 1 Quart [62719-31] - $15.95 : Keystone Pest Solutions, Low price herbicides and pesticides


Cut it down and apply to stump. It is tinted blue so you can see where you applied it .

Go to your local CO-OP and try "reward" its not listed for bamboo but it kills everything and its safe in run off waters. They recommend adding a "surfactant" to it but adding a tsp (per gal) of plain lemon dish soap has the same effect. Just add it after adding water...sudds you know. Last I check a gallon goes for a couple hundred but this is real stuff.

It's an aquatic herbicide and you pay more for that, and it is no longer safe for water when you use detergent as a surfactant, as detergent is not listed on the label. You must use a non ionic surfactant to be within label restrictions.

Garlon 3A can be used as well around water with a non ionic surfactant. But for his application see my earlier post.

Is Garlon 3A available in 1 gals. For home use a 2.5, at what about $250 is not quite sensible, is it?

Even a gallon is going to be what $100?

Take a saw or chainsaw and cut off the top leaving about 6 inches sticking up. They spray it with full strength Round Up. This will work. I had a maple tree that got rooted up through some concrete and kept breaking the concrete. Did this and killed it DEAD.

Agent Orange has a reputation for doing the job...if you're not concerned about your grandchildren having extra arms and legs and other unusual growths on their body.

Dang, beat me to it (smart ass!)

I love they smell of napalm in the morning...

Kerosene... it works great for killing plants. Once it dies, pour more kerosene on it and burn it.

First off, is it really bamboo? Many of the chemicals listed are for broad leaved plants and not grasses...

 

[Water63]

Cut it then treat the stumps with glyphosate "roundup" at a 5% solution that is about 3X what the premix is. Tordon is another good one it may take more than one treatment.

On the other side of the thread...is bamboo good for an area that has erosion problems?
