Abstract

While 2,4-D and other growth auxin herbicides have been widely used in silvicultural operations, relatively little study has been made of the possibility of using such materials as 3-(p-chlorophenyl)-1, 1-dimethylurea, (monuron), and other "soil sterilants," except in in connection with control of vegetation in firelanes and in killing oak trees to prevent spread of the oak wilt disease. The high cost and non-selective phytotoxicity of these chemicals has made them of limited value for use where release of conifers from hardwood competition is the objective.
