Selective Control

Most invasive species are highly resilient against mechanical control alone, making chemical control a key component of the management strategy for these species. Chemical control can reduce propagation via seeds or rhizomes and enter the root systems of target plants to prevent regrowth.

Selective herbicides are used whenever possible to prevent impacts to non-target species, and herbicides are applied in a highly targeted manner and in the lowest effective concentrations. Selecting appropriate treatment timing is crucial to ensure that each treatment is effective and minimize the need for follow-up treatments.
