Title: Herbaceous Weed Control Checklist to Minimize Damage to Pine Seedlings
Description: When herbicides are applied properly (the labeled, most appropriate herbicide(s) at the right dosage and at the right timing), herbaceous weed control (HWC) during the first and/or second spring after planting (with pine response the most significant to HWC in the first growing season) can be beneficial to growth and survival on old-field, pasture, hayfield, and cut-over sites, particularly in droughty growing seasons.
A four to six-foot-wide band is often as effective as a broadcast treatment, but banded treatments must be applied from the ground. Broadcast herbicide treatments are recommended on sites with heavy turf grass, invasive plant, or vine competition and may be performed aerially or from the ground.
