Charcoal Fails To Protect Planted Loblolly Pine From Soil Herbicide

The development of soil-applied herbicides for preplant site preparation has been sought for 30 years and is now essential for the loblolly-shortleaf pine type where steep slopes can make the costs of mechanical methods excessive and soil disturbance may result in compaction and severe erosion. Impending regulations on nonpoint pollution may stop many mechanical operations, but most soil-applied herbicides are nonselective and persistent in the soil. This can delay pine planting for 2 or 3 years.
