A Management Guide for Invasive Plants in Southern Forests James ...

Management Strategies andHerbicide Prescriptions for Invasive PlantsThe following are management strategies and herbicide prescription summaries for prevalent invasive plants, detailingmainly selective application treatments. These management strategies and prescriptions have been assembled frompublished research results, unpublished trials, State reports, weed council manuals, magazines, and Web sites. Ingeneral, few species-specific experiments have been reported that compare a full array of treatments for invasive plantspecies. But until further specific understanding is gained, we must proceed with current knowledge and technologyto manage their invasions. Herbicides are mentioned in order by effectiveness when comparative informationis available or alphabetically when such information is lacking. Remember to not exceed the label-specifiedmaximum herbicide amounts per acre, especially when using selective application treatments.
