Abstract

Turbinella oak was sprayed with picloram-containing herbicides on 90 dates throughout 81 months. A mixture of triisopropanolamine salts of picloram and 2,4-D was compared to the potassium salt of picloram on 44 dates, and to a mixture of isooctyl ester of picloram and propylene glycol butyl ether esters of 2,4-D on 42 dates. Low rates of herbicide treatments were used to increase the sensitivity to environmental factors and plant growth stages. Turbinella oak mortality was greater with the mixture of picloram and 2,4-D amines than with picloram alone or the mixture of picloram and 2,4-D esters. The mixture of picloram and 2,4-D esters did not kill any plants. The combination of available soil moisture at the 60-cm depth, no senescent or falling leaves, and full-sized leaves was the best indicator of when to apply picloram or the mixture of picloram and 2,4-D amines. No turbinella oak were killed when soil at the 60-cm depth was dry or leaves were falling at the time of treatment.
