Extract

The control of hardwood vegetation is an essential step in establishing pine on upland sites in North Louisiana. In some instances removal of all vegetation is necessary before pine seeding or planting can be done. This type of operation is usually accomplished by conventional land-clearing methods, which are often rather expensive. The use of chemicals as a means of hardwood control offers certain advantages not inherent in mechanical methods. In situations where species selectivity is not desired, the substituted urea herbicides might provide an economical means of vegetation control.
