Abstract

Field studies were established to evaluate several herbicides for buckbrush control in tall fescue pastures. Buckbrush was controlled most consistently by 2,4-D amine or low volatile ester, or package-mixes of 2,4-D plus dicamba or triclopyr. Two consecutive years of herbicide application was more effective for reducing buckbrush stem populations than one application.
