While the new herbicide did an excellent job on mesquite, it had no effect on cedar. For cedar, the Antilleys turn to me- chanical methods of control.
One year after treatment, the treated mesquite rated 90 percent control. In other research plots sprayed in 2009 and 2010,
Sendero posted rootkills of 60 percent to 93 percent 2 years after treatment. It averaged 77 percent. In the same trials, the old mix of Reclaim and Remedy Ultra had rootkills of 39 percent to 82 percent and averaged 60 percent.
Oaks unharmed On their own place, the Antilley brothers noted not
only the excellent mesquite control but what the herbi- cide did not affect — oaks among the sprayed mesquite. “We have some 100-year old post oak and we need
some shade for cattle,” Gary says. “They never turned color after spraying over them.” That observation is reinforced by other trials: Sende-
ro has had little or no effect on oaks, elm and hackberry. Safety to oaks is a nice fringe benefi t, the broth-
ers say. “That’s the only shade we have,” Tommy says. “And
everywhere we have mesquite, we have oaks.” So, it seems, after 60 years, the Antilley brothers
can add a new tool to their legacy of managing brush. “It is a never-ending process,” Gary says.
