| Abstract/Contents: | "The complexity of roadside vegetation management make it desirable to develop economic information on a variety of management systems as an aid to planning and decision making. Operational trials were carried out at four locations in Ontario to assess the productivity, economics and cost effectiveness of alternative roadside vegetation management systems. Seven vegetation management systems were evaluated including a control in which no management system is applied, broadcast herbicide application, basal bark herbicide application, mechanical cutting, handcutting followed immediately by treatment of the cut surfaces with herbicide, handcutting followed by broadcast herbicide application on regrowth during the next growing season and handcutting alone without any follow-up treatment. The cost-effectiveness of the various treatments was affected by a variety of factors including the density and height of the vegetation, the species composition, the timing of the treatments and, in the case of chemical treatments, the chemical used and the rate of application. The results suggested that cutting followed by the application of herbicide to the cut surfaces or regrowth were the most cost effective systems for reducing the density and overall height of the trees." |
