https://secure.pesticides.gov.uk/offlabels/search.asp Commercial, Farm and Nursery Forestry Laser® (herbicide) may be applied to the following tree species at any time after transplanting once plants are established:
 This recommendation includes trees grown in nursery beds and in their final planting position. NOTE: Before using on conifers in a nursery situation or at an early stage of establishment, treat a small number of plants of any one species first to observe if any adverse effects occur before making wider scale treatments. (See label for further details). Farm Woodland and Commercial Forestry Butisan® S (herbicide) is also recommended for weed control in will control in farm woodland and commercial forestry. Butisan® S will control simazine-resistant groundsel and activity against Polygonum species is improved when used in sequence with trifluralin (eg MAFF 05817). Species and cultivars in the following genera have been treated with a spray directed at the stem base without significant crop damage.
Acer
Aesculus
Ailanthus
Alnus
Amelanchia
Betula
Carpinus
Castenea
Catalpa
Chamaecyparis
Corylus**
Crataegus |
Davidia
Fagus
Fraxinus*
Gleditsia
Juniperus
Larix
Malus
Nothofagus
Ostrya
Picea
Pinus*
Platanus |
Populus
Prunus
Pseudotsuga
Pyrus
Quercus
Robinia*
Salix
Sophora*
Sorbus
Thuja
Tilia | Some of the above may be treated with an overall spray. Not all species or cultivars have been tested and so only a small number of plants should be treated initially to gain experience with the treatment. Selectivity is greatest when applied under cool, overcast conditions. Applications should not be made to soft, vigorously growing foliage, particularly during or after a period of warm days and cold nights. NOTE:
* These species may show transient leaf curl, leaf necrosis and motting (needle shortening on Pinus) from overall sprays.
** These species have been tested with a directed spray at the stem base only. Refer to product label for full details. Green cover on land not being used for production (Set-aside)  Aramo® and Laser® may be applied to areas temporarily removed from production where the green cover is made up predominantly (i.e. sufficient to maintain reasonable cover) of tolerant crops that are present on the label for the control of grass weeds and volunteer cereals.
Use on industrial crops of linseed and winter oilseed rape is also permitted, however the user must refer to the legal requirements and directions for use relating to linseed and winter oilseed rape respectively. See product labels for further details. Useful Links: Set-aside Handbook and Guidance for England – the handbook outlines rules governing set-aside in England.
