Preparing planting sites with herbicides
In old fields, increased growth and survival of planted Japanese larch and hybrid poplar can be obtained by using the proper herbicide and optimum rate to control known species of competing vegetation. The amount of vegetation removed at a given rate of applied herbicide was directly related to the seedling growth. These exploratory trials indicated that herbicide "prescriptions" can be developed for a given site with prior knowledge of its soil texture, vegetative cover, and weed-kill response.
