2 National Biological Control Laboratory Biological Control of Pests Research Unit Stoneville, Mississippi

3 verview: Problem vs. Solutions

4 verview: Problem vs. Solutions Problems with the solutions Making solutions work Making solutions work together

5 The story of kudzu

6 The story of kudzu s Kudzu as an ornamental 1910 s 1940 s Kudzu as a crop 1930 s 1950 s Kudzu to control erosion 1950 s 1970 s ops! 1970 s present #@*!? David Fairchild (USDA)

7 The story of kudzu

8 The story of kudzu - FAQ Can you kill it with Roundup? But don t we need it to stop erosion? Could you bale it? Don t deer like it?

9 Solutions part I: Herbicides

10 Solutions part I: Herbicides

11 Solutions part I: Herbicides Products that work vs. products that you can afford Poor selectivity bare ground treatments Restricted use products

12 Solutions part II: Biocontrol Asian Soybean Rust? Kudzu bug? Goats?

13 Solutions part III: Myrothecium Myrothecium verrucaria U.S. Patent No. 6,274,534 Indigenous to S.E. U.S. Very broad host range HIGHLY virulent on many dicots

14 Solutions part III: Myrothecium Trichodiene Roridin D H 3 C CH 3 CH 3 H CH 3 H CH 3 CH 3 H H 3 C H Satratoxin H Verrucarin A

15 Making solutions work part I: Herbicides Establish field plots

16 Making solutions work part I: Herbicides Apply herbicides

17 Making solutions work part I: Herbicides Measure biomass

18 Making solutions work part I: Herbicides Herbicidal Control of Kudzu Field plots 2007 Surfactant only Escort 28 days after treatment

19 Making solutions work part I: Herbicides Milestone Vista Roundup Mow

20 Making solutions work part I: Herbicides Kudzu Dry Weight (kg / ha) Untreated Ignite Calisto Roundup Mow Vista Escort Milestone Remedy Percent Control 0 20 $84 / acre $22 / acre Avg. 3 sites 11 months after treatment

21 Making solutions work part II: Myrothecium Standard Spore Preparation

22 Making solutions work part II: Myrothecium Standard Spore Preparation

23 Making solutions work part II: Myrothecium Standard Spore Preparation Washed Spore Preparation

24 Making solutions work part II: Myrothecium Sicklepod Sicklepod + Myrothecium washed spores + improved surfactant

25 Making solutions work part II: Myrothecium Untreated Aminocyclopyrachlor Milestone Myrothecium 4 oz/acre 7 oz/acre 3x10 12 / acre Imprelis Streamline Perspective Viewpoint All applications in Aug with Induce surfactant Photos November 2009

26 Herbicides or biocontrol or mowing?

27 Making solutions work part III: Integration Herbicides or biocontrol or mowing? Herbicides and biocontrol and mowing! and how about some native vegetation on the side, as well? Questions: Best chemistry? Herbicide timing & split application? Concurrent revegetation? Power in integration?

28 Making solutions work part III: Integration Plot Establishment Replicated in 3 Locations 3 Reps per location RCB design

29 Making solutions work part III: Integration Planting switchgrass Previously untreated Herbicide treated

30 Making solutions work part III: Integration 3 months later

31 Making solutions work part III: Integration % Reduction in Kudzu Biomass a a a ab ab ab ab ab ab b Avg. of 9 reps. Results 2 years after initial treatments

32 Conclusions Some of the new herbicides are really good

33 Conclusions Some of the new herbicides are really good Effective, low use rates, affordable, selective, fewer restrictions

34 Conclusions Some of the new herbicides are really good Myrothecium can be an effective bioherbicide

35 Conclusions Some of the new herbicides are really good Myrothecium can be an effective bioherbicide An integrated program (even with marginal components!) can be effective

36 Conclusions Some of the new herbicides are really good Myrothecium can be an effective bioherbicide An integrated program (even with marginal components!) can be effective Don t let exotic invasive weeds have the last word!
