Brush Control With Chemicals By EMMETT L RICHTER
Low cost chemicals are readily available for control of undesirable brush on native prairie grass pastures. Two four D and 245 T are relatively inexpensive relative to results achieved. The stump treatment with 2 4 5 T and diesel wetting the stump perimeter yields about 95 percent kill when applied immediately after cutting. Foliage treatment during approved dates offers lower kill but reduces labor. Aerial application treats heavy infestations rapidly with low carrier volume, though weather affects kill rates. Grazing management aids recovery of native grasses after brush control. Deferred grazing helps grass roots store reserves. Removing livestock may be necessary to allow grass recovery.
