ROADSIDE VEGETATION MANAGEMENT: HERBICIDES AND BEYOND
Chemical treatment of roadside vegetation can be an effective, but unpopular choice in vegetation management. This article describes various approaches to roadside vegetation control that go beyond herbicides. Mowing and planting are favored by the public, and occasionally, herbicides and growth retardants can be used in spot spraying. Budget constraints can dictate the amount of work that can be done overall; consequently, a prevention approach, such as plantings that require minimal attention, may be an appropriate solution. The integration of spraying, manual labor, and prevention can culminate in a practical plan for weed control.
