ABSTRACT

Woody plants can be killed with herbicides in different ways. Herbicides can be applied by

Spraying onto foliage Wiping onto stems and foliage Spraying basal bark or stumps Injecting into the sapwood of trees by mechanical devices or through frills

or notches cut into the tree Using soil application

As discussed in Chapter 3, several herbicides can be applied as low-volume broadcast foliar treatments for brush control. Low-volume spraying is usually quicker, easier, and less expensive to apply than high-volume sprays. The best control of large woody plants or resistant species may require complete coverage of the plant with a high-volume spray, however.
