%X The effects of the herbicides Garlon, Roundup, ammonium sulfate (as dry fertiliser or sprayed liquid), fresh manure, and organic matter derived from wild grass, on elimination of re-sprouting by cut peach trees cv.  Papagianni, grafted on the rootstock GF677, were recorded. Complete elimination of re-sprouting from decapitated peach trees was achieved following treatment with Garlon, Roundup or ammonium sulfate (as dry fertiliser). Treatment with fresh manure or organic matter eliminated 70&#8211;80% of re-sprouting. Spray application of ammonium sulfate delayed re-sprouting, but did not eliminate it. The use of manure and &#39;yard waste&#39; can provide organic growers with a certified tool to control re-sprouting of decapitated trees.
