Identification of post-emergence herbicide
mixtures for use in native forb seed
production
Four species had been planted in the fall of 2006 for
more extensive herbicide screenings.
2008 and 2009:
• Tested rates and combinations of Prowl and
Outlook applied on March 12 (‘08) or March 20
(’09) plus Select applied later.
• Irrigated 1 inch every 2 weeks
• Plant injury rated visually several times.
• Seed was harvested as it matured.

Identification of post-emergence herbicides
for use in native forb seed production
Preliminary conclusions from 2007: Conclusions from 2008
and 2009.
A. In general there tended to be less observed foliar injury
with the use of Prowl, Outlook, and Select in 2006 and
2007. With early application, no foliar symptoms in 2008 or
2009.
B. Lomatium grayi and L. dissectum flowered in 2009.
C. P. specious and P. deustus resisted Prowl, Outlook, and
Select. P. deustus showed good seed yield. P. acuminatus
resisted Prowl and Outlook and demonstrated good seed
yield.

for use in native forb seed production
Preliminary conclusions from 2007: Conclusions from 2008
and 2009.
D. All species had foliar tolerance with no obvious symptoms
following early herbicide applications.
E. Five species had good seed yield and only Lomatium
triternatum had reduced seed yield when treated with
Buctril.
F. The rates and combinations of Prowl and Outlook were
applied on 4 species. They produced no foliar damage
systems and did not reduce seed yields for the three
species that had seed production.
