Özet
Because purple-flowered rhododendron ( Rhododendron ponticum L.) and yellow-flowered rhododendron ( R. flavum Don.) significantly reduce seedling growth and regeneration of eastern beech ( Fagus orientalis Lipsky) as well as local floristic diversity in northern Turkey, effective and cost-efficient woody control is needed. Various manual ( cut and grub) and herbicide (foliar and cut-stump spray) woody control techniques were used in two different beech-rhododendron sites in the Black Sea Region (BSR) of Turkey. Two years later, biological and economic effectiveness were substantially greater with foliar-applied herbicide and grubbing treatments than with the cutting, cut-stump, and check treatments. Yet, grubbing showed a great potential for sprout crown reduction. Cut-stump spray was intermediate in effectiveness. Cutting had the least woody control and economic effectiveness among all of the treatments. Foliar-applied Arsenal SL ( imazapyr) had significantly greater rhododendron control than foliar-appliied Garlon 4 ( triclopyr ester). Increasing rates did not enhance herbicide efficacy. Reducing rates further may provide the same level of control at less cost.
