Abstract: New Zealand trials using metsulfuron (Escort) and glyphosate (Roundup) for chemical thinning of radiata pine have shown little indication that chainsaws are likely to be replaced as a method of thinning-to-waste. New chemicals, or new formulations of the same chemicals, could reverse this conclusion. In the meantime, chemical thinning-to-waste may have application in very limited situations, including regeneration or wilding control.
