Yield of Ponderosa Pine Seedlings Following Broadcast and Spot Hexazinone Applications Item Info

A 5-year study was established in a 2-year old ponderosa pine plantation to test the effect of competition control using hexazinone within varying disturbances of trees on available soil moisture and subsequent tree yields. Competition consisted of herbaceous vegetation in predominantly pinegrass community. The size of the herbicide-treated area around a tree (spot-size) affected soil moisture. Available moisture near the tree increased with increasing spot diameter up to 4 ft. during the first post-treatment growing season. These soil moisture effects were correlated with subsequent volume yields of the ponderosa pine. After 5 years following treatment was significantly related to percent soil moisture measured during the first growing season following treatment.
