Abstract

Red alder (Alnus rubra Bong.) was readily killed by growing season treatments with a 1 to 1 mixture of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4,5-T) in diesel oil. Except for 1-inch-diameter trees, it was resistant to dormant season treatments. Treatments applied during moderate rain were less effective than during rain-free periods.
