Description
Forestry herbicides are a versatile, cost-eff ective tool that can be used in a variety of ways to help manage forest vegetation. Managing forests to grow selected crop trees is similar to growing agriculture crops: there are usually undesirable plants or weeds present that interfere with desirable crop plants. In agriculture, weeds are controlled by various vegetation management practices, including the use of herbicides, to increase the availability of site resources for desirable crops. In forestry, herbicides can also be used to control undesirable plants so that sunlight, soil moisture, and nutrients are concentrated on desirable crop trees.
