Triclopyr is a synthetic auxin herbicide currently available as a triethylamine salt, butoxyethyl ester, pyridinyloxyacetic acid, or choline salt. The formulation of a herbicide has the potential to impact its activity; therefore, the objective of this study was to determine the relative activity of these four triclopyr formulations. Greenhouse dose-response studies were conducted twice at the University of Florida in 2015. The four formulations were foliar applied at rates ranging from 17 to 1,121 g ae ha⁻¹ to 2- to 3-leaf soybean, sunflower, tomato, and cotton. The amine salt formulation provided the lowest ED₅₀ values in tomato and sunflower (22.87 and 60.39 g ha⁻¹, respectively); whereas in soybean, amine and choline formulations provided the lowest ED₅₀ values (22.56 and 20.95 g ha⁻¹, respectively). No differences between formulations were observed in cotton. These data suggest that (1) the amine salt formulation of triclopyr might be more active than the others on tomato and sunflower, and (2) the amine and choline salt formulations might be more active than the others on soybean. Further work must be conducted to determine whether there are differences among these formulations under a range of field conditions and target species. In addition, other important management factors such as applicator safety, volatility potential, and cost should be considered when choosing the best formulated product to be applied. Nomenclature: Triclopyr; cotton, Gossypium hirsutum L.; soybean, Glycine max (L.) Merr.; sunflower, Helianthus annuus L.; tomato, Solanum lycopersicum L.
