Recommends Spraying Of Roadside Brush
Manitoba officials urge a dormant spray program to kill roadside brush in late fall and winter. Secretary J Forbes notes fall and winter spraying improves penetration, reduces costs, and uses fuel oil as carrier. A 2 4-D and brushkiller mix at two pounds per acre with ten gallons oil is recommended, with careful slow travel at about three mph for one mile of brush per road. Further details available from Manitoba Power Commission or Weeds Agriculture publications.
