Abstract

Weeds and weed control are a major problem in the growth and management of Eucalyptus trees. Annual, biennial and perennial weed species are common in sites to be planted. These weeds should be controlled before planting. Preplant, preemergence and postemergence herbicides are discussed. Safe preemergence herbicides include oryzalin, napropamide, oxadiazon, linuron and to a lesser degree simazine, atrazine and diuron. Glyphosate, amino triazole and paraquat have been used safely and efficaceously [sic] postemergence. Combinations of mechanical and chemical weed control help allow maximum tree establishment and growth.
