RRCcomparedthecostandeffectivenessofPindarGTtootherchemicalandnon-chemicalmethodsofvegetationcontrol,includingano-actionscenario.Regardingtheircomparisonstootherchemicalapplications,RRCchosetocomparePindarGTtoapplicationsinvolvingeitherhexazinoneorglyphosate.ItshouldbenotedthatsulfometuronmethylandatrazinearealsosoilactiveproductsthathavesimilarrolesinforestrybutonRRC'sownershiparenotusedduetoconifertoleranceissueswithsulfometuronmethylandwaterqualityconcernswithatrazine.Therefore,theircomparisontoonlyhexazinoneandglyphosateisadequate.

RegardingRRC'scomparisontohexazinoneandglyphosate,PindarGThasmanyadvantagesoverbothherbicides.Themainonebeingconifertolerance.Douglas-fir,whitefirandincensecedararemoderatelytoseverelyintolerantofhexazinone,evenatlowrates.Glyphosateapplicationsarestrictlylimitedtogrounddirectedsprayapplicationsbecausenoconiferspeciesistoleranttoglyphosateinthespringwhennewlyplantedreleaseapplicationsoccur.NosoilorfoliaractiveherbicidehasshowntheconifertoleranceevidentwithPindarGTtodate.

InMediterraneanandotherclimatesmechanicalorhandtreatmentsalonearenotaviablemethodofvegetationcontrol(Newton&Dost1984,Flint1985,Knowe1992,McDonald&Fiddler1992,Fiddler&McDonald1997).Costsareextremelyhigh,butmoreimportantlythedurationofcontrolisincrediblyshort.Mechanicalandhandtreatmentsaremosteffectivelyusedinanintegratedprogramthatincludesherbicideuse.NewtonandDost,1984,alsoshowedasignificantlygreaterinjuryrisktoworkerswitheithermechanicalormanualremovalmethods.ThereareothermethodsofmanualcontrolRRCdidnotfocusonsuchasmulchmats,however,theirinstallationandmaintenancecosts(sometimesexceeding$2000peracre)alongwithmixedresultsdonotmakethisaviableoptioneither(McDonald&Fiddler1992,McDonaldetal.1994).Overall,RRCwascorrectintheirefficacyandcostassumptionsregardingmechanicalandhandtreatmentstocontrolvegetation.
