Treatments included two regimes of prescribed fire, two utilizing chainsaws for understory removal, a dozing/disking site-preparation treatment as well as the establishment of overstory 200 square meter canopy gaps. A third study screened Banvel CST, Tordon RTU, Garlon 3A, Weedone 170 and Weedone CB applied to the cut-surface to control sprouting while another study applied Weedone CB, DPX 63-76 (Escort), Garlon 4, Banvel 520 and Tordon 101M as a dormant season basal stem streamline application. A fifth study involved a biological and economic comparison between a chainsaw and Shindaiwa B-45 brush saw with a simultaneous herbicide application of Tordon RTU to prevent sprouting.
