Diuron for Weed Control in New Windbreak Plantings

Herbicides have been used successfully to control weeds in many agricultural crops. Research has indicated that some of these chemicals can be used in tree plantations under certain conditions with good weed control and with no apparent ill effects to the trees. Ferrell 3 / found that CMU was the most effective weed killer tested in South Dakota when applied at the rate of 20 pounds per acre of active ingredient on 1 year old windbreaks. No damage was reported on the 8 tree species under test. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of diuron (Karmex DW) applied at various rates on the survival and growth of newly planted trees and on weed control in new plantations.
