Starting in July, workers will begin selective, backpack-applied, low-volume foliar treatment of brush and small tree growth. This treatment uses a herbicide mixture that is absorbed through treated foliage. The application is intended to suppress or control treated brush and reduce regrowth in the following growing season. If you have questions or concerns in regards to the methods utilized in SIEC’s brush management program, please contact our office at 800-607-2027.
