Integration of chemical control with restoration techniques for management of Fallopia japonica populations

Effective management of invasions by japonica are currently limited repeated annual herbicide and research efforts are to determine integrated costeffective that result in management success. We several different herbicides F. japonica control in the and under field conditions coupled chemical control with activities at an invaded site. suggest that: 1) glyphosate at 4.21 kg ae/ha is the most cost treatment option, 2) the rate for F. japonica control aminocyclopyrachlor i s equivalent to the 0.56 kg/ha, 3) restoration with grasses can be with targeted chemical control
