Abstract:A study was made of new methods and chemicals for controlling regrowth in trees. As part of this research program a portable, air-powered equipment system was developed for injecting low volumes of concentrated aqueous chemical solutions into trees for sprout regrowth control. Using young seedlings in the greenhouse, 10 chemicals were screened for their effectiveness in controlling regrowth on 24 tree species. Laboratory studies were also conducted to determine the translocation and metabolic behavior of certa… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
