Extract

Basal stem sprays of an ester of 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4,5–T) mixed with a light oil such as kerosene or diesel oil have proved to be effective for controlling a number of species of woody plants. In general, the recommendation has been to apply the herbicidal solution in a band around the base of the stems and allow the solution to flow down the bark to the ground. However, different band widths have been suggested by workers in various parts of the country.
