Prevention and Control
Prevention
Published reports, videos and factsheets for the general public are available in the USA through Federal and State agencies (US Forest Service, 2016). It is on regulated and/or invasive species lists in the USA in various states, such as Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, South Carolina and New Hampshire (Invasive.org, 2016).
Control
Control
Physical/mechanical control
Pulling out the entire plant; mowing and prescribed burning are recommended to slow the spread of the species or act against the seedlings (US Forest Service, 2016). All pieces of the roots need to be removed and populations must be monitored for several years, as seed stored in the soil seed bank may germinate for up to 10 years (GISD, 2016). Follow-up treatment with herbicide is required to control any surviving stems or new seedlings (Gucker, 2009; US Forest Service, 2016).
Chemical Control
Due to the variable regulations around (de-)registration of pesticides, we are for the moment not including any specific chemical control recommendations. For further information, we recommend you visit the following resources:
