Abstract Details

2009, Master of Environmental Science, Miami University, Environmental Sciences.
A common invasive shrub in eastern North America is Lonicera maackii; it is often controlled with mechanical and chemical methods. In this study, I evaluated the effectiveness of a new method (cut-a-major limb) to kill shrubs 2.4-4.5 m tall. I compared four treatments for efficacy and costs: all combinations of two mechanical methods– cut-a-major limb and space-cuts, with two different herbicides - Garlon 3A and Tordon RTU, in mid-November 2008 at the Ecology Research Center, Oxford, Ohio. Garlon was not effective, but Tordon killed some shrubs, and was more effective in space-cuts than when applied to a major limb. Treating one stem was not effective in killing multi-stemmed shrubs. Cut-a-major limb was not effective on the large shrubs used in this study. Space-cuts with Tordon was more expensive than some previously reported methods, but may be a good alternative to control single-stemmed medium-size shrubs and when spot treatment is needed.
