Body

Spraying of an old stand of chaparral with herbicides was shown to increase range-carrying capacity 37% by the end of the third year. Control of Ceanothus spp., Salvia leucophylla and Adenostoma fasciculatum was estimated at between 89 and 100% for the various species. Forage production on sprayed areas, consisting mostly of annual grasses and forbs, was nearly double that of nonsprayed areas. This material was digitized as part of a cooperative project between the Society for Range Management and the University of Arizona Libraries.
