AB  - Arborists are frequently called upon to diagnose injuries to trees that may be the result of herbicides incorrectly or inappropriately applied by the client or an adjoining neighbor. In many cases, an arborist is blamed for causing the damages to a client’s trees. Arborists need to recognize herbicide symptoms and mimicking symptoms, as well as learn appropriate corrective measures. The presentation compares symptoms caused by herbicides such as 2, 4-D, banvel, and triazine compounds with mimicking symptoms for nonherbicide causes. Foliage and soil residue of herbicide contaminants is documented with laboratory tests showing the minimum residues required to cause damage to various trees from soil sterilants such as bromacil, prometon and tebuthiuron.
