Dust control plan targets mesquite to cut New Mexico dust
NMSU agronomy researcher Walter L. Gould says dust in winds across southern New Mexico largely comes from dune areas infested with mesquite. He recommends removing mesquite and planting grasses to slow wind at the surface and curb soil erosion during National Clean Air Week.

Dust control by mesquite spraying reduces soil blowout
Research by Gould shows foliar sprays of 2,4,5-T kill mesquite and boost forb and grass growth between dunes. Debris from mature forbs protects soil, with virtually no soil movement on treated plots this winter and spring, while adjacent untreated areas suffered severe blowing. Dried areas on treated plots have leveled and show good productivity.
