Karsky, Dick . 1999. Dry Borax Applicator: Operator's Manual. 9934 2812. Missoula, MT: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, National Technology and Development Program.
Describes installation and operation of a dry borax applicator designed by the Missoula Technology and Development Center. The applicator is attached to the back of the saw head of a feller-buncher. The applicator allows the operator to apply dry borax to a stump immediately after cutting a tree. Borax can reduce the incidence of annosum root rot, a fungus that spreads as spores land on freshly cut stumps.
