6 Previous research - Control Herbicide studies to control mature plants: Glyphosate, imazapyr, and metsulfuron Applications targeted during mid-september Glyphosate (2% v:v): best control over 2 years, but metsulfuron also very effective However, observed increased spore production following herbicide application
7 Previous research Spore Development Herbicide Timing: Glyphosate and metsulfuron at 4 intervals from July Sept Applications on individual plants Metsulfuron: better at limiting gametophyte development
8 Distribution USDA NRCS National Plant Data Team, 2016 Established in 8 southeastern states What s up with Pennsylvania?! Present in much of Florida but most prevalent in northern areas where it dies back in winter and re-sprouts from rhizomes Continues to move south Atlas of Florida Vascular Plants, Institute of Systemic Botany, 2016
9 Current research: Two main objectives: 1. Determine if reduced gametophyte development is similar when applications are made at the landscape level management scale treatments 2. Assess the effect of timing of herbicide treatments on sites across Florida Two year project began in 2015
10 Herbicide application: Herbicide treatments: 1. Glyphosate 2% (v/v) 2. Metsulfuron methyl 0.5 g per liter 3. Glyphosate + metsulfuron methyl 4. Untreated Control Herbicide applications via backpack sprayer with a handgun. Plants sprayed to wet.
11 Western Panhandle sites Blackwater River State Forest (BRSF): upland longleaf pine forest 2. Neal site in Blountstown: hardwood forest Treatments applied to 10 ft. x 20 ft. plots
12 Central Florida sites Ocala National Forest: upland longleaf pine/sand pine 2. Lake County: hardwood forest Treatments applied to fern patches
13 Spore collection: Fertile fronds collected 4 weeks after herbicide treatment Spores were separated from fronds and weighed Spore yield = Total Spore Yield Total Frond Weight
14 Spore germination and gametophyte development: Only BRSF and Ocala Spores mixed in water (0.015 g spores to 20 ml water) 4 ml spread over pot surface Measured % cover after 5 weeks in growth chambers: 25ºC 75% humidity 12 hour day
15 Results

17 Results: spore germination and gametophyte development Blackwater River State Forest Ocala National Forest
18 Results 2015 No significant relationship between herbicide treatment and spore yield, in contrast to previous studies. Metsulfuron provided much less control on large scale treatments plots BRSF Very low spore yield in the hardwood shaded sites - Neal L&T, Lake County, minimal effect of herbicides Ocala site the combination treatment was best Spore Germination impact was seen in the later application timings with all three herbicide treatments
19 Spore Germination Test spore viability directly % cover is somewhat subjective
20 Changes in Methodology Test spore viability directly Developed methodology for spore germination on microscope slides Measure % germination instead of % cover
21 Studies
22 Florida sites Blackwater River State Forest (BRSF): upland longleaf pine forest 2. Ocala National Forest: upland longleaf pine/sand pine 3. Hillsborough County: hardwood forest

27 RESULTS Hillsborough low spore yields and minimal effect of herbicide, no effect on spore germination Ocala low spore yields and minimal herbicide effects, appears to be some impact of metsulfuron treatments on spore germination Warren higher spore yields, even as early as July; some impacts of herbicide on reducing spore yield; all treatments lowered spore germination
28 Management Implications Although previous research suggested metsulfuron was more effective than glyphosate at limiting spore production, broadscale applications showed minimal differences between herbicides. Spore formation occurs earlier than expected, glyphosate seemed to work best earlier in season, metsulfuron alone or in combination with glyphosate for later season applications
