Jon,
I did mean Chateau. my experience last year was that suckers sprayed with
the material looked sick in a few days. In 2-3 weeks they were easily
pulled, usually with the "node" and some roots coming up as well. I've
found that pulling a 5-6mm healthy sucker (1/4 inch) may take 50 pounds or
more
Hugh, I figured you mean't Chateau. Chateau can only be applied pre-bud
break (silver tip for apple) or by extension, presumably in the fall after
harvest. Dave, Venue (Nichino) has a supplemental label specific for sucker
"management" in pome and stone fruit. It works best when tank-mixed with

Hello, Hugh —
I was interested in your comment about controlling apple root suckers with
Chaparral herbicide because root suckers have become a major headache in some
of our older research plots. However, when I checked the Chaparral label on
the CDMS website, I can’t find any label that inclu
Steven,
This is off point, but as an aside, I have found suckers (Bud 9) to weaken
when sprayed with the herbicide Chaparral. This is a pre emergent but is
labeled for suckers on apple. The effect is a severe weakening of the
sucker roots and they are very easy to pull a couple of weeks after the

Is there any information on the long term value of pre-planting sucker
reduction?
On some apple (and peach) rootstocks that arrive from the nursery, I have
seen what appear to be cream-colored, corm-like 'nodes' at various locations
on the roots themselves as well as the lower portions of the c
