Abstract

Saltcedar (Tamarix pentandra Pall.) and Woods rose (Rosa woodsii Lindl. var. ultramontana [Wats.] Jeps.) were sprayed with systemic herbicides at frequent intervals over a 2-year period. Root samples were collected at each spray date and analyzed for “total available carbohydrates.” Food reserve levels in the roots and response to herbicides were not correlated.
