New Treatment Combinations for Control of Brush and Vegetation Management AlongIndiana Roadsides

摘要

The report represents results from a project for research to develop andimplement new treatment mixtures for control of problem brush, trees, and other woody species and herbicide-resistant weeds along Indiana roadsides. An environmentally safe mixture of trichlopyr (Garlon Herbicide) and ammonium nitrate for one application control of deciduous roadside vegetation was developed. Also discovered and developed was a new, environmentally safe and effective TR series of additives that enhance the action of the auxin herbicides (trichlopyr, 2,4-D, picloram) for inclusion in both the brush control mixture and for possible use for the control of milkweed, canada thistle, bindweed, ground cherry, and other perennial herbicide-resistant roadside weeds.
