Herbicide Formulations for Roadside Maintenance

South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) has the 4th largest state-maintained transportation system in the United States with vast acres of roadside vegetation to maintain. Vegetation management expenses comprise a considerable portion of the state’s maintenance budget, with costs skyrocketing over the last few years. While the agency has historically incorporated the use of herbicides in the vegetation management program, newer herbicide chemistries and applications are needed to provide a more sustainable approach to roadside vegetation management.
