Abstract

This paper explores the benefits of competition control treatments in establishing plantations now and into the next rotation, More is known about the economic outcome of woody control treatments than about herbaceous. control; thus, the former are given the most attention. But the early growth benefits of herbaceous weed control treatments are also reviewed, with the appropriate application methods and possible innovations. Application methods are explained, with emphasis on ideas leading to possible establishment savings.
