The Use of Herbicides in Hardwood Forestry
نویسنده
چکیده
Herbicides can play an important role in hardwood management by providing foresters and landowners with a means to eliminate undesirable stand components. Although herbicide technology for hardwood management still needs much development, some methods are available and MU be used to enhance the value of the stand. With an emphasis on safety, de&ailed information about the benefits and methods of applying individual stem and broadcast trearments for control of woody and herbaceous components in hardwood forests are presented in this paper.
