Extract

Some data have already been presented on the kill of blue oak (Quercus douglasii H. & A.) with concentrates of 2,4–dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4–D) and 2,4,5–trichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4,5–T) applied to cuts in the trunks. The present paper is concerned with reporting some similar studies on species which are noted for being persistent or vigorous sprouters. Since the sprouting question represented an important part of these studies, it was necessary to make observations for several years after treatment to arrive at some relatively dependable conclusion concerning effectiveness.
