Origin & history

Triclopyr triethylammonium (TEA) was first registered in 1979 in the United States for use as an herbicide in non-crop areas and forestry to control broadleaf weeds and woody plants. A year later, in 1980, a formulation containing triclopyr butoxyethyl ester (BEE) was registered for similar applications. Both formulations expanded their usage to turf sites in 1984, and in 1985, triclopyr BEE was specifically registered for use on rangeland and permanent grass pastures. In 1995, the triclopyr TEA formulation received registration for use on rice crops to manage broadleaf weed species. Triclopyr
