| Abstract | Abstract-The herbicide OUS'f ® (sulfometuron methyl) is being used on rangelands in the northern Great Basin to control cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum) for 1 to 2 years, thereby improving the success of rehabilitation projects. Experimental data indicate that OUS'f® provides more effective cheatgrass control than either burning or disking. OUS'f ® was applied to a 100-acre cheatgrass-infested seeding near Mountain Home, Idaho, where it reduced cheatgrass density by 91 percent compared to an adjacent untreated control. Remnant perennial grasses were more vigorous in the OUS'f® treatment. OUS'f ® can be used to effectively control cheatgrass for up to 2 years at a cost of$25-$28 per acre (herbicide and application costs), using either ground or aerial application. |
