Effects of Chemical Weed Control and Seedling Planting Depth on Survival and Growth of Aspen

Deep-planting aspen seedlings by placing the root collar 15 centimeters below the soil surface reduced injury from simazine. Simazine gave excellent weed control, whereas diuron and linuron were not as effective. All three herbicides were toxic to sensitive poplar species, even at low concentrations. Survival was more important than early growth as a criterion for evaluating herbicides for aspen establishment.
