Abstract

Duncecap larkspur was not killed by triclopyr, picloram, or clopyralid applied once at recommended rates. Triclopyr at 1.1, 1.7, 2.2, and 4.6 kg ae/ha applied twice to the same plots in two consecutive years reduced duncecap larkspur density from 29 to 64%. However, the higher rates of triclopyr left 2 plants/m2, an unacceptable level for preventing cattle poisoning.
