Contact yow local Colorado State University Extension office or Natwal Resources <br />Conservation Service office for proper seed mix recommendations. <br />Mechanical and Chemical Control of Saltcellar <br />A bulldozer or prescribed fire can be used to open up large stands of saltcellar. These methods must be <br />followed up with an herbicide treatment of the resprouts when they are 1 to 2 meters tall. <br />Chemical Control of Saltcellar <br />For large stands of saltcellar that would essentially be monotypic, foliar applications of the herbicide <br />Arsenal or Arsenal plus Roundup are 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 saltcellar 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 effective but must be applied within one minute after cutting because <br />wound healing occurs very quickly and decreases herbicide penetration. <br />Russian Olive <br />r: <br />• <br />
