Body

Spraying big sagebrush with 2,4-D in Wyoming reduced soil moisture loss 24% between June 24, the treatment date, and September 30. All of the reduction accrued by August 4, during the time of active vegetative growth. Moisture was measured to a 6-ft depth and 83% of the reduction was located in soil 2 to 6 ft deep. This material was digitized as part of a cooperative project between the Society for Range Management and the University of Arizona Libraries.
