Chemical Control of and Old Stand of Chaparral to Increase Range Productivity

Spraying of an old stand of chaparral with herbicides was shown to increase range-carrying capacity 37% by the end of the third year. Control of Ceanothus spp., Salvia leucophylla and Adenostoma fasciculatum was estimated at between 89 and 100% for the various species. Forage production on sprayed areas, consisting mostly of annual grasses and forbs, was nearly double that of nonsprayed areas.This material was digitized as part of a cooperative project between the Society for Range Management and the University of Arizona Libraries.The Journal of Range Management archives are made available by the Society for Range Management and the University of Arizona Libraries.
