This webinar will focus on the control of competing vegetation through:

1. Planting density (spacing) and design,
2. Herbicides used during site preparation and after planting
3. Use of ground covers

Based on site conditions encountered prior to hardwood planting, several prescriptive alternatives are offered as guides for successfully planting hardwoods.

The webinar is based on the UT Extension publication PB1783 entitled: Site Preparation and Competition Control Guidelines for Hardwood Tree Planting. The color publication (36 pages) can be downloaded and used as a reference and handout from the following website ---
