Abstract

Bromacil (5-bromo-3-sec-butyl-6-methyluracil) was much more effective in killing post oak (Quercus stellata Wangenh.) and blackjack oak (Q. marilandica Muenchh.) trees than 4-amino-3,5,6-trichloropicolinic acid (picloram) when applied to soil at 5.6 and 11.2 kg/ha in spots, bands, or by broadcasting. When applied at 5.6 kg/ha in bands or broadcast, picloram effected better crown reduction than bromacil on mockernut hickory (Carya tomentosa Nutt). Differences between rates and methods of applying bromacil were small. While bromacil was superior on the prevalent overstory species, post oak and blackjack oak, picloram excelled on the most numerous understory plants.
