Chemical treatment test plots at the universi- in the fall is an effective option when controlling large stands with minimal or no damage to desirable plants while they are in a dormant state. Large stands of bush honeysuckle can easily be chemically treated with the use of a backpack mist blower, Armbrust said. Mist blowing offers effec- tive control at a low cost per acre by decreasing the time spent and possibly the cost of chemicals. A back- pack mist blower allows for quick treatment of large areas without a decrease in effectiveness. It is common to treat one to two acres per hour effectively with little impact on non-target species when applied in the late fall. To assist in chemical treatment, KFS has two backpack mist blowers that are available for loan to private landowners, con- tractors, or other state and federal agencies. Contact Armbrust at rarmbrust@ Farm Hard AG. Products by ksu.edu to request a mist blower.
