	abstract = {Tarbush, a member of the composite family (sunflower tribe), is a common deciduous shrub, usually less than 3 feet tall, that grows on an estimated 13,250,000 acres from western Texas to southeastern Arizona.  It generally invades on the more productive flood plain sites and spreads from seed.  As it gains dominance, forage production is greatly reduced. Tarbush is practically worthless for browsing.  Individual plant treatments with fenuron pellets, monuron powder, fenuron-trichloroacetate (TCA) granules, and monuron-TCA granules have consistently given plant kills in excess of 90 percent.  Trichlorobenzoic acid granules have been less effective.  An effective rate is an individual plant treatment of 2 grams active ingredient of fenuron pellets, monuron powder, fenuron-TCA granules, or monuron-TCA granules.  The materials should be scattered around the base of the plant.  Since these materials are desensitized by light and high temperatures, it is important that they be applied just before or early in an expected rainy season.  This method is economical in controlling sparse stands of tarbush.  It would be especially beneficial in areas where tarbush is invading grassland.  The work reported was done on a silt loam soil in southern New Mexico.},
