Recommended management methods: <br /> Cultural - After managing saltcedar infestations, other vegetation must be t <br /> established to prevent re-invasion. Competetive grasses and planted cottonwood <br /> cuttings have proven to be effective at reducing the chances of re-invasion. ' <br /> Contact your local CSU Extension office or Natural Resources Conservation <br /> Service office for proper seed mix recommendations. <br /> Mechanical- A bulldozer or prescribed fire can be used to open up large stands t <br /> of saltcedar. These methods must be followed up with a herbicide treatment of <br /> the resprouts when they are 1 to 2 meters tall. <br /> Herbicides - For large stands of saltcedar that would essentially be monotypic, ' <br /> foliar applications of the herbicide Arsenal, Habitat or Arsenal plus Roundup are <br /> effective. Late summer/early fall are optimum treatment times. This is <br /> recommended for areas that have little to no desirable shrubs and trees. ' <br /> In areas where woody native plants are present and their continued <br /> existence is desired,it may be necessary to cut and treat saltcedar stumps with a <br /> herbicide. This is referred to as the cut-stump treatment. Cuts should be made ' <br /> within 2 inches of the grounds surface, immediately followed by a herbicide <br /> application to the perimeters of the cut stems. The products Arsenal and Garlon <br /> are effective but must be applied within one minute after cutting because wound , <br /> healing occurs very quickly and decreases herbicide penetration. <br /> Always read, understand, and follow herbicide label directions.
