Sagebrush Spraying Boosts Grass Production
Sagebrush spraying rapidly increases range grass output from 200 to 600 percent by reducing competition for water and nutrients. Timely application targets new growth three to four inches high, with aerial spray requiring flagmen to avoid unsprayed strips and spraying large enough areas to form management units for stable root growth and future seeding. Wildlife remains unharmed and vegetation recovers over a one year rest period.
