Abstract

A tractor-mounted mist blower was as effective as a high-volume ground sprayer or an airplane sprayer for applying herbicides to control hardwoods in two tests in central Louisiana. Two lb/A of butoxyethanol ester of 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4,5-T) were slightly better than one, and May treatments were more effective than August treatments.
