Texas A&M researchers report that low pressure, low volume aerial spraying with 2,4-D and 2,4,5-T reduces herbicide use and costs while maintaining effective brush and weed control on rangeland. Field tests in west and south Texas show high kill rates for annual weeds at reduced chemical rates, with ongoing studies on spray deposition and diluent effects.
