Table 2 Treatments applied in Pseudotsuga menziesii trial showing active ingredients (a.i. g ha−1). All herbicides are applied to the entire plot, apart from the spot applications indicated in bold. All herbicides are applied with water to make up 200 L ha−1. The treatment where oversowing was applied is marked with an asterisk. Amount of active ingredient used for spot control was based on planting density of 1000 stems per hectare. Products used are shown below the table
