Description
Summary:Picloram pellets (TORDON 10K) were used to selectively control unwanted woody vegetation in wildlife openings. The pellets were more convenient, economical, and effective than mechanical and liquid herbicide methods used previously. Ease of picloram application has greatly increased the scope of opening maintenance programs in Wisconsin. Broadcast application of picloram for wildlife purposes is not recommended because of the effect on desirable herbs and shrubs.
