The purpose of this study was to design a minimum-cost maintenance program for control of vegetation along Indiana roadsides. Mechanical and chemical methods were combined to maintain healthy turf at low cost. A 3-year (environmentally safe) spraying rotation in combination with mowing was recommended and implemented. It provides a maximum-benefit, low-cost maintenance program for the state with cost savings in excess of 200,000 dollars annually.
