Basal applications, are usually low volume application. Utilizing oil based products mixed with mineral oils and surfactants, basal applications are usually made when the brush is dormant. This backpack method is used in areas that have been treated previously or where no brown out is desired. This method is very selective and can be used in remote areas too.
Best suited for areas that are inaccessible to motorized equipment or sensitive areas where brown-out is undesirable. Best results are achieved when this treatment is done during the dormant season. Each individual stump or stem is treated using a combination of herbicides with a mineral oil carrier applied at Ultra-low volume with a backpack sprayer. The chemicals penetrate the bark slowly killing the entire plant. During the following growing season weeds and grasses flourish.
