Abstract

Several herbicides were evaluated for control of western false hellebore (Veratrum californicum Durand). The dimethylamine salt and propylene glycol butyl ether esters of (2,4-dichlorophenoxy)acetic acid (2,4-D), potassium salt of 2-[(4-chloro-o-tolyl)oxy]propionic acid (mecoprop), and the butoxy ethanol ester of 2-(2,4,5-trichlorophenoxy)propionic acid (silvex) controlled 95 to 99% of the plants when applied at 2 lb/A followed by 2 lb/A of the dimethylamine salt of 2,4-D the second year. Optimum control was achieved when plants were treated after the last leaf had expanded and before flower bud initiation.
