Use Of Trifluralin For Sowings Of Siberian Elm

The Siberian elm (Ulmus pumila L.) has shown promise for shelterbelt plantings in the prairies by demonstrating rapid growth, drought tolerance, and relative salt tolerance. However, largescale production of Siberian elm, as with other trees, is economically dependent on successful control of weeds. In agriculture, trifluralin (Treflan) has been used extensively as a preplant or preemergence, soil-incorporated treatment to control most grass and many broad-leaved weeds as they germinate. This paper is a summary of several years research into the use of trifluralin for control of weeds in seedlings of Siberian elm.
