Extract

Increasing the forage yield of rangeland by controlling big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata Nutt.) with fire, chemicals, or mechanical means has become a common procedure. The main problem confronting researchers has been the remarkable ability of sagebrush to re-establish itself after a control program. Fire and mechanical means of control have proved to be effective in killing established sagebrush. However, a heavy stand of young sagebrush often becomes re-established within a few years (3). Since the use of chemicals for sagebrush control has developed within the last decade, very little is known concerning the re-establishment of the plant in chemically controlled areas.
