Abstract

A new method was developed for incorporating herbicides into the root zone of saltcedar (Tamarix pentandra Pall.) in arid, low rainfall areas. A spray pipe with five nozzles was mounted along the rear edge of a 2.44-m root plow blade. A supply line connected the spray pipe with a sprayer mounted on the plow frame. In operation, the saltcedar roots were severed at a selected depth by the blade as herbicide was sprayed simultaneously into the cut-root zone. A similar root plow with a 1.22-m blade was designed for use on small research plots.
