1969 ANNUAL REPORT VEGETATION CONTROL ON ROADSIDES AND SIMILAR AREAS

FOUR THICKENING AGENTS (NORBAK, KELTEX, DACAGIN AND VISTIK) WERE COMBINED WITH THREE HERBICIDES (2,4-D, 2,4, 5-T AND 2,3,6-TBA) TO DEVELOP A SAFER, MORE EFFICIENT USE OF HERBICIDES TO REDUCE THE COST OF CONTROLLING THE VEGETATION ON ROADSIDE AREAS TO REPLACE THE MORE COSTLY CONTROL METHODS NOW EMPLOYED. EXPERIMENTATION WAS CONDUCTED ON THE COMMON MILKWEED. IN GENERAL, THE PERCENT OF INJURY TO THE MILKWEED WAS SLOWER WITH THE USE OF THE THICKENING AGENT. HOWEVER, THE FINAL RESULTS OF PERCENT OF KILL WAS INCREASED WITH SOME OF THE THICKENING AGENTS WHILE THE RATE WAS POORER WITH OTHER THICKENING AGENTS. /BPR/
