NEW TREATMENT COMBINATIONS FOR CONTROL OF BRUSH AND VEGETATION MANAGEMENT ALONG INDIANA ROADSIDES. FINAL REPORT
This report presents the results from a research project to develop and implement new treatment mixtures for control of problem brush, trees and other woody species and herbicide-resistant weeds along Indiana roadsides. An environmentally safe mixture of trichlopyr (Garlon Herbicide) and ammonium nitrate for one application control of deciduous roadside vegetation was developed. Also discovered and developed was a new, environmentally safe and effective TR series of additives that enhance the action of the auxin herbicides (trichlopyr, 2,4-D, picloram) for inclusion in both the brush control mixture and for possible use for the control of milkweed, canada thistle, bindweed, ground cherry and other perennial, herbicide-resistant roadside weeds.
