Abstract
Abstract Herbicides were introduced into the vascular systems of 20-and 22-year-old Chinese elm (Ulmus parvifolia Jacq.), pin oak (Quercus palustris Muenchh.), and 20-year-old white ash (Fraxinus americana L.) with a syringe-type pressure injector. Concentrations of triclopyr [[(3,5,6,-trichloro-2-pyridinyl)oxy]acetic acid] triethylamine salt ranging from 90 to 360 g/liter were as effective on all species with 2 injection sites per tree as the combination of picloram (4-amino-3,5,6-trichloropicolinic acid) triisopropanolamine salt + 2,4-D [(2,4-dichlorophenoxy) acetic acid) triisopropanolamine salt at dosages ranging from 8 g/liter + 30 g/liter to 32 g/liter + 120 g/liter. Over 80% kill of Chinese elm tops occurred within 2 months after injection, whereas maximum kill of white ash and pin oak did not occur until the following growing season.
