Abstract

Picloram was applied to leafy spurge using flexible and rigid ropewick applicators for 3 yr at each of two upland pasture sites. The ropewick applicators were a cost-effective way to apply picloram to control leafy spurge compared to broadcast application, but minimal advantage was demonstrated for the segmented, flexible unit compared to the rigid applicator. Picloram applied as an 80 g ae/L solution through ropewick applicators controlled leafy spurge equal to broadcast picloram at 1.1 kg/ha while using 36% as much picloram.
