Site Preparation Study One Step/Oust Mixtures Drs. Jimmie Yeiser and Rick Williams, Stephen F. Austin State University and University of Florida
INTRODUCTION • OUST EXTRA IS A PRE-MIX BLEND OF OUST XP AND ESCORT XP • OUST XP A COMMON PART OF THE FALL SITE PREPARATION TANK MIX • ESCORT XP IS NOT LABELED FOR THE PREPARATION OF LONGLEAF PINE SITES • CAN LONGLEAF PINE SITES BE SAFELY PREPARED WITH FALL-APPLIED OUST EXTRA MIXTURES FOR PRE-PLANT WOODY PLANT CONTRL AND POST-PLANT HERBACEOUS WEED CONTROL?
OBJECTIVE TO COMPARE: ONESTEP AND ONESTEP PLUS OUST EXTRA MIXTURES WHEN PREPARING LONGLEAF SITES FOR: WOODY PLANT SITE PREP CONTROL, RESIDUAL, POSTPLANT HERBACOUS WEED CONTROL, PLUS LONGLEAF PINE TOLERANCE AND PERFORMANCE
METHODS 2 1 1-Piney Point (Jasper County), TX—TEMPLE-INLAND 2-Hooper Site (Baldwin County, AL) —Hooper Mathews Property
TREATMENTS Check-None OneStep - 128 oz/ac OneStep+NIS - 77 oz/ac OneStep+Oust Extra+NIS - 77+3 oz/ac OneStep+Oust Extra+NIS - 77+4 oz/ac OneStep+Oust Extra+NIS - 77+10.67 oz/ac NIS = 1 qt Timberland 90 surfactant

BARE GROUND • ONESTEP 1 QT ONESTEP+OUST EXTRA • BARE GROUND SAME SAME • HERBS SAME SAME • WOODY LESS MORE • RUBUS MORE LESS SUMMARY & CONCLUSIONS • SIMILAR FALL BROWNOUT FOR HERBICIDE TREATMENTS APRIL
BARE GROUND • ONESTEP 1 QT ONESTEP+OUST EXTRA • BARE GROUND LESS MORE • HERBS MORE LESS • WOODY LESS MORE • RUBUS MORE LESS SUMMARY & CONCLUSIONS OCTOBER
SUMMARY & CONCLUSIONS • STARTING THE ROTATION WITH DIFFERENT COMPETITOR COMMUNITIES • ONESTEP+OUST EXTRA PROVIDED MORE BARE GROUND, RUBUS, AND HERB CONTROL THAN ONESTEP ALONE • NO VISIBLE HERBICIDE DAMAGE • EXCELLENT SURVIVAL AND HERBICIDE TOLERANCE FOR NOV & FEB PLANTED SEELDINGS • IN YEAR TWO A LARGER GLD WAS RECORDED FOR NOV THAN FEB PLANTED SEEDLINGS • ONESTEP+OUSTEXTRA COMBINATIONS FOR PREPARING LONGLEAF SITES FOR EARLY (NOV) AND LATE (FEB) PLANTING IS A VIABLE OPTION
