Presentation summary: 

Forestry labeled herbicides are a low risk and effective means of controlling undesirable forest vegetation in hardwood forestry. They can be used for achieving many objectives including: establishing desirable regeneration, increasing tree growth and timber production, creating and enhancing wildlife habitat, and controlling non-native/invasive plants. This presentation will highlight forestry herbicide application methods, products, and treatment guidelines for controlling interfering vegetation as well as provide an update on a number of forest management herbicide research projects.

Presented by: Dave Jackson, Forest Resources Educator, Penn State Extension
