Herbicides were applied to prepare two upland sites for planting of loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) after clearcut harvesting: (1) picloram pellets, (2) hexazinone liquid, (3) a slurry of tebuthiuron soluble powder, and (4) following underplanting, a liquid formulation of picloram + 2,4-D was injected into residual hardwoods. The herbicides in treatments 1 through 3 were applied in 4-inch-wide parallel strips spaced 9.8 feet apart in April 1981. Vegetable on all plots was prescribe burned in August 1981, and the plots were planted in January 1982 with loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) seedlings. Planting rows were evenly spaced between the chemically treated strips. Loblolly pine survival, height, and diameter growth were not affected by treatment at either site through five growing seasons.
