Two chemical control techniques were adopted to control A. altissima: cut stump and basal bark herbicide applications. The former consisted in cutting the plant to the ground level and, immediately after plant felling, moistening the stump with a selected herbicide solution.
Description of Reference System
Areas with untreated plants were used as a reference (control)
for both techniques; the plants for the cut stump technique were cut
but not sprayed
