Bare Ground Vegetation Management
Total weed control is achievable, but Chemical Methods must be approached cautiously, and only under supervision of a State Licensed professional. Vegetation management often involves suppressing plant growth to reduce mowing costs, or controlling noxious weeds to foster the growth of more desirable species. Sometimes, though, the point is to eliminate all plant growth in a particular area. Around Oilfield Operational Facilities, Pipelines, Wind Energy Towers, Electrical Transmission Lines, and Power Sub-stations, maintaining a bare ground site reduces fire potential and habitat cover for animals that could damage or be harmed by equipment. Other locations that might benefit from bare ground weed-control treatment include railway and pipeline rights of way, storage and service yards, tank farms, and industrial sites.
If the right products are chosen and applied with care, herbicidal treatment can be effective in achieving this goal. For the most effective bare ground control, Mike Vaughn (a Texas Commercial Chemical Applicator — Texas Department of Agriculture License # 0618961) can recommend herbicides that treat a wide spectrum of weeds, including both grasses and broadleaf species. Another important point to consider is the herbicide's persistence- the length of time it remains effective. Mike often suggests products which are designed specifically for bare ground applications, are effective on the broadest spectrum of species, and have the longest residual effect. Such a product often remains active in the soil and can prevent plant growth for up to six months or longer after a single application.
Because misapplication of herbicides commonly used in BARE GROUND Vegetation Management can be particularly harmful to beneficial plants, as well as to wildlife, SAFETY is the most important aspect of BARE GROUND Vegetation Management.
