Experiments in chemical control of Brigalow (Acacia harpophylla) suckers in sheep country

Abstract

Excellent control of brigalow suckers was achieved with two applications 12 months apart of emulsifiable 2,4,5-T butyl ester at 0·5 lb a.e. per acre in diesel distillate and in an emulsion of emulsifiable oil and water. Slightly inferior results were obtained with the same
material in water alone and when emulsified with water and diesel distillate.
