Abstract
Eleven herbicides were tested for their ability to kill Croton capitatus and Helenium amarum in Texas pasturelands. Six of the tested herbicides (chlorosufuron, metsulfuron, 2,4-D, picloram, 2,4,5-T and tricopyr) were able to reduce C. capitatus populations by more than 80%. Metsulfuron reduced H. amarum populations by more than 90%.Suggested Citation
