Treats the target brush with total spray solution volumes between 100 and 400 gallons per acre. See the product labels for specific rates.
Densities higher than 1,500 stems per acre.
Heights greater than 6 to 8 feet.
For reclamation efforts in large areas.
Low-volume foliar:
Treats the target brush with total spray solution volumes between 5 and 30 gallons per acre. See the product labels for specific rates.
Used to keep shrubs and saplings from repopulating an area after an initial reclamation or to enhance a well-maintained site that contains low stem densities and low average stem heights.
Densities less than 500 stems per acre.
Heights less than 6 to 8 feet.
This close-range treatment helps minimize drift.
Coverage is quick and easy.
Requires minimal equipment, herbicide and personnel.
Low-profile.
Application Basics:
High-volume foliar:
Always read and follow the product label for specifics.
Thoroughly spray all leaves, stems and root collars until wet.
Use a nozzle that sprays coarse droplets to get the needed coverage.
Spray pressure should never exceed 40 psi at the tip.
Add a drift control agent and leave an appropriate buffer zone when applying next to sensitive crops.
Thoroughly wet leaves and stems when using bark-penetrating products like Garlon®, Tordon® or DMA® 4 IVM herbicides.
Thoroughly wet leaves only when using products like Accord® or Rodeo® herbicides, which are absorbed only through the leaves.
Treat root collars when applying products like Garlon, Tordon or DMA 4 IVM herbicides to prevent resprouts from dormant buds in this region.
Low-volume foliar:
Always read and follow the product label for specifics.
Spray herbicide directly onto foliage of individual plants.
Use spray pressures and techniques that minimize spray drift.
Get good coverage on the growing tips and terminal leader.
Spray front and back sides of the target clump to ensure adequate coverage.
Apply the herbicide solution at a volume that wets the crown, but minimizes runoff.
Recommended Equipment:
High-volume foliar – hand-held spray guns with coarse droplet nozzles.
Low-volume foliar – Backpack sprayers with flat or adjustable spray tips, Model 30 GunJet with rollover nozzle, Philly Foam system, Thinvert system or Radiarc sprayer mounted to a truck or skidder.
