water was used for all rates of APP
plication of five gallons per acre and
above. The ester form mixed with
diesel oil was applied at Is gallons
per acre.
The helicopter was equipped with
a spray boom having nozzles three
inches apart. Only IS feet of the
boom was used. The rate of dis
charge was approximately .08 gallons
per minute at SO pounds pressure.
Two 25-gallon tanks carried the
chemical mixture.
The speed of the plane ranged
from Is to 35 miles per hour. Be
cause of the relatively high speed

to make from one to six flights over
the trial areas to apply the various

Regrowth Develops
Two weeks following the applica-

Six weeks later, regrowth had de-
veloped on 80 to 40 percent of the
willows. Ten weeks following spray
ing, regrowth had developed on so
to 70 percent of the willows. Most of
the regrowth appeared from the
base with a few scattered branches
of unnatural looking growth in the
upper portion of the willows.
Little or no regrowth appeared
where the willows we're relatively
thin or where they were approx
mately eight feet or less tall, pro-
viding there were no tail trees or
power lines to interfere with the
helicopter flying just above the tops
of the willows. Very little difference
could be observed between the vaxi-
Gus rates of solution applied
Turbine Application
A turbine was used to apply 2,4-D
at approximately the same rates a.
applied by the ~helicopter. The rates
of application varied somewhat due
to operational difficulties; however,
they approached the helicopter rates.
A truck was used to transport the
turbine Sprayer.
The turbine had a 50-gallon tank
and rates of application were con-
trolled by number of trips depend
ing on the height of the willows3
speed of travel, and valve control
from the pump.
Two weeks following spraying,
the willow leaves were dead on all
treated areas as far as the spray
reached. Six weeks later, no re-
growth was evident where the leaves
were once dead. Ten weeks follow
ing the application of 2,4-D, no e
growth had appeared except on
area which had been treated with
one pound of 2,4-D in five gallons OF
water. At this location a small
amount of regrowth appeared on 20
to 80 percent of the plants that had
previously appeared dead.
