Abstract
CHEMICALS such as2,4-D, 2,4, 5-T, and others have been widely and successfully used to control undesirable weeds and brush. Success with 2,4-D in controlling sand sagebrush (A rtemisia filifolia) at the Southern Great Plains Field Station and other locations led workers to believe that control of big sagebruish (Artemisia tridentata) woould be easy. The first sprayings on big sagebrush were disappointing, but as more became known about different types and rates of chemicals and carriers, chemical control began to show some promise. To find which chemicals and carriers, and methods and dates of application, might be used for large-scale control of sagebrush this present study was undertaken near Lander, Wyoming. In size and nuimber of plots it is one of the largest studies reported for chemical control of big sagebrush. Sprayings are being continued, but as the first-year (1949) spravings show trends which might help other workers in the same field, these results are presented at this time. Smaller chemical spraying studies in Moffat County, Colorado, by Colorado A & M College, and in Delta County, Colorado, by the Rocky Mountain Forest and
