Abstract

Herbicide-related injuries in newly planted trees and resets seem to be a growing problem. Every so often, incorrect application of herbicides can lead to injury or even dieback of young trees.   Such effects of herbicides in young trees and the extent of damage will depend on the type of herbicide used, exposure rate, etc. This article will discuss the potential impacts of herbicides on young trees and thus helps the growers to adopt tree-safe herbicide programs in immature groves.
