ObjectivesObjectives
To use an biological and ecological based research program to make sound management recommendations for Japanese stiltgrass

Current management guidelinesCurrent management guidelines
Prevent seed production (Tu 2000)
Methods (late-season)–Hand-removal–Mechanical (mow)–Nonselective herbicide
(Roundup Pro – glyphosate)
![Page 5: Microstegium vimineum Management and Impacts on Native Plant Communities](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070409/56814495550346895db1349b/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Questions and concerns? Questions and concerns?
Late-season control allows competition to reduce native species
Non-selective methods (Roundup and mowing) kill native species
Management must be timely

SummarySummary
All three selective herbicides were effective at each application timing
Multiple applications were more effective than single applications (whether 1/2X or 1X)

SummarySummaryJapanese stiltgrass
–All treatments effective control & seed bank reduction
Herbaceous dicots–Greater diversity in selective treatment

The future?The future? What will happen after we control Japanese stiltgrass? Will re-established plant communities be less
susceptible to invasion? Can we truly exhaust the
seed bank?
