Abstract

Successful weed management must be an incorporation of techniques and ideas. Habitual practices of cleaning equipment, using the proper cover crop, spraying small amounts of herbicides early and more often, timing of applications, and the use of the correct mulch/resin are all important lines of attack in keeping the nursery free of competing vegetation. The methods presented are methods used at MeadWestvaco’s forest tree nursery in Ravenel, SC.Individual papers from this publication
