Description
This paper records for the first time the effect of the herbicide tebuthiuron aerially applied onto Stylosanthes scabra pastures that had been established in a poplar box (Eucalyptus populnea) woodland in a summer-dominant 616 mm annual rainfall area. Tebuthluron was applied at 1.0 and 1.S kg ai/ha as Graslan pellets. Stylosanthes plant populations and yield were recorded for the 3 years 1988-1991. Results indicate that the tebuthiuron could be used for the control of woody plants in a Stylosanthes pasture without too great a deleterious effect if the rate does not exceed l kg/ha and the pasture has been established long enough to build up soil seed reserves.
