Includes insecticides, rodenticides, herbicides, fungicides, plant regulators, defoliants, desiccants, disinfectants, anti-fouling paints, and biocides (such as water treatment chemicals). NAVFAC pest management consultants do not approve disinfectants or biocides.

Pruning The selective removal of unwanted growth to restore a plant or tree to its natural symmetry and appearance. Pruning involves selection and judgment and does not include the practice of cutting off all branches to an even length. This may include re-sculpting, changing the size, or any other form of work that directly affects the look and growth pattern of the plant.

Registered Pesticide A pesticide registered by EPA for sale and use within the United States.

Rejuvenation The severe pruning of overgrown bushes, shrubs and hedges to within a few inches of the ground or as directed by the KO to restore the plant to its natural shape.

Rut Depressions made in soil or grass by tires of vehicles or heavy equipment.

Trimming Removal of unwanted vegetation around trees, shrubs, flower and shrub beds, cultivated areas, poles, walls, valves, and other similar objects to match the height and appearance of the surrounding grass. Shrub and hedge trimming includes removal of unwanted vegetation to maintain a uniform, and well-shaped appearance, and to prevent interference with pedestrians, vehicle traffic and building encroachment.

Trunk The main stem of a tree, usually long, large and relatively straight.

Vegetation Plant life collectively consisting of grass, weeds, and other greenery (excluding shrubs, hedges, and trees) growing wild or cultivated on lawns, fields, and other areas.
