Abstract

Growth and percentage survival was measured for slash pine (Pinus elliottii Engelm.), shortleaf pine (P. echinata Mill.), Virginia pine (P. virginiana Mill.), and loblolly pine (P. taeda L.) seedlings treated with: (a) 0.07 to 4.48 kg/ha 2,6-dichlorobenzonitrile (dichlobenil), (b) 0.28 to 8.96 kg/ha 1,1-dimethyl-3-(a,a,a-trifluoro-m-tolyl)urea (fluometuron), or (c) 1.12 to 8.96 kg/ha S-propyl butylethylthiocarbamate (pebulate). Herbicide toxicity to pine seedlings was in order of dichlobenil > fluometuron > pebulate. Acceptance of mild growth reduction would permit pebulate utilization in seed bed nurseries.
