Salt Cedar/Control Measures- LCCD has compiled a Chemical Handbook to assist producers with noxious weed treatments.
Control Measures for Salt Cedar
Alias:  Tamerix ramosissima
 

Mechanical Control:
  • A bulldozer or prescribed fire can be used to open up large stands of Saltcedar. Resprouts can then be
    sprayed.
 
Cultural Control:
  • After Salt Cedars are killed, establishing a canopy cover with seeded grasses and planted cottonweed cuttings could reduce the chances of Salt Cedar re-invading the area.
Chemical Control:
  • Arsenal & Roundup (For large areas)

    •     Rate:          Water solution of 1/2% Arsenal and 1/2% of Roundup applied at a rate of 50 gallons per acres.
        Time:          July through September. Stop spraying in fall when leaves are turning yellow.
        Remarks:    Use of 1/4% Surfactant will increase effectiveness. Retreatment may be needed.
        Caution:      Follow label recommendations and precautions. Do not contaminate water.

     
  • Garlon 3A (Stump treatment for small area
    		•
      -Cut stump close to the ground (Fall is the best time).
      -Immediately apply undiluted Garlon 3A to the perimeters of cut stumps.
      -Re-treat any resprouts 4-12 months following initial treatment. Use the Arsenal and Roundup mix.

      Caution:      Follow label recommendations and precautions.  Do not contaminate water.
    Cooperatively prepared by the Lander County Conservation District and the Nevada Department of Agriculture.
