Field experiments were conducted 2000 through 2003 to evaluate the efficacy of fall-applied herbicides on established tall following midsummer mowing. Triclopyr-containing treatments showed greatest suppression 12 mo after treatment (MAT), across all years. With triclopyr at 0.56 and 0.63 kg/ha, control was 80% or greater 2 3 yr. Dicamba initially provided 87% 8 MAT yr declined less than 60%...
