2. Tree stump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_stump

   A common method for stump removal is to use one of the many chemical stump removal products, so long as immediate results are not needed. These stump removers are mostly made of potassium nitrate (KNO 3) and act by rapidly increasing the decay of the stump. (The chemical provides nitrogen, a limiting nutrient, to tree-decaying fungi.

3. Girdling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Girdling

   Girdling prevents the tree from sending nutrients from its foliage to its roots, resulting in the death of the tree over time, and it can also prevent flow of nutrients in the other direction depending on how much of the xylem is removed. A branch completely girdled will fail; and, when the main trunk of a tree is girdled, the entire tree will ...

4. Potassium nitrate - Wikipedia

   Component (usually about 98%) of some tree stump removal products. It accelerates the natural decomposition of the stump by supplying nitrogen for the fungi attacking the wood of the stump. [58] In heat treatment of metals as a medium temperature molten salt bath, usually in combination with sodium nitrite. A similar bath is used to produce a ...

5. Slime flux - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slime_flux

   Eventually, the pressure will cause the sap and gasses to burst through the xylem and out of cracks in the trunk and ooze down the side of the tree. This sap flux may be further infected by other pathogens once exposed to the air such as air-borne bacteria, yeast, and other fungi, at which point it is known as slime flux.

6. Ammonium sulfamate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammonium_sulfamate

   Ammonium sulfamate is considered to be particularly useful in controlling tough woody weeds, tree stumps and brambles.. Ammonium sulfamate has been successfully used in several major UK projects by organisations like the British Trust for Conservation Volunteers, English Heritage, the National Trust, and various railway, canal and waterways authorities.

7. Tree injection - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_injection

   Trunk injection or endotherapy also known as vegetative endotherapy, [1] [2] [3] is a method of target-precise application of pesticides, [4] [5] [6] plant resistance activators, [7] or fertilizers [8] into the xylem vascular tissue of a tree with the purpose of protecting the tree from pests, or to inject nutrients to correct for nutrient deficiencies.
