Developing Herbicide Uses for Indiana's Forest Nurseries

Successful artificial regeneration of our nation's forest land is dependenton adequate supplies of seedlings from forest nurseries. Wildlife habitat improvement programs, land reclamation, windbreak establishment and Christmas tree production also rely heavily on nursery seedling production. The production of these seedlings is accomplished at considerable expense. For most nurseries the major production cost is the hand labor necessary for tending seedlings, particularly for weeding nursery beds. Consequently, the use of herbicides for weed control has considerable financial incentive for the nursery manager.
