COLLEGE STATION – “Ready to control some brush? – Leaf spraying options” will be the topic of the May 4 natural resources webinar conducted by the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service ecosystem science and management unit.
The webinar is a part of the Texas Range Webinar Series scheduled the first Thursday of each month from noon to 1 p.m., said Pete Flores, AgriLife Extension webinar coordinator in Corpus Christi.
Dr. Megan Clayton, AgriLife Extension range specialist in Corpus Christi, will be the presenter.
“For mesquite and many associated brush species, early summer is the best time to treat with herbicides,” Clayton said. “Learn how to determine the best timing, how to spray and what to spray for effective foliar applications.”
