The use of chemicals in southern forests

Abstract

During the past fifteen years numerous herbicides for control of woody plants have been evaluated at the Alexandria Research Center of the Southern Forest Experiment Station. Herbicides have proved effective as basal treatments when applied to cut surfaces, as basal stem sprays, or when applied directly to the soil at the base of trees. The method to use will depend largely on the species, size of stems to be treated, density of stand, and the herbicide that is used.
