Mowing Versus Mechanical or Chemical Weed Control in Sugar Maple Afforestation
Ten-year cumulative height increments of planted sugar maple were 156 and 366 centimeters, respectively, in plots that were mowed four times a year for 9 years or rototilled for 4 years and sprayed with simazine for 5 years. Elimination of competing vegetation with applications of propyzamide and simazine resulted in better height increments in 1 year than did mowing during the previous 4 years.
