These methods must be <br />followed up with an herbicide treatment of the resprouts when they are 1 to ?meters tall. <br />Chemical Control of Saltcedar <br />For large stands of saltcedar that would essentially be monotypic, foliar applications of the herbicide <br />Arsenal or Arsenal plus Roundup arc effective. Late summer/early fall are optimum treatment times. This is <br />recommended for areas that have little to no desirable shrubs and trees. In areas where woody native plants <br />are present and their continued existence is desired, it may be necessary to cut and treat saltcedar stumps <br />with an herbicide, This is referred to as the cut-stump method. Cuts should be made within 2 inches of the <br />grounds surface, immediately followed by an herbicide application to the perimeters of the cut stems. 'The <br />products Arsenal and Garlon are etective but must be applied within one minute after cutting because <br />wound healing occurs very quickly and decreases herbicide penetration. <br />Russian Olive <br />
