Tordon, is used mostly for killing brush, poison ivy and grapevines. I have
heard stories where someone cut a grapevine down and put Tordon on the
stump, and the tree next to the grapevine died also! 2,4D is a broadleaf
killer used in grass crops, corn and lawns. In fact it is in most off the
shelf consumer lawn "weed and feed" products, so watch out using it near
your peppers!!!! It has that tell tale sweet "chemical" smell.
