Selected herbicides evaluated for postemergence control of Gibasis pellucida and Tradescantia fluminensis in greenhouse experiments in Florida.

Tahitian bridal veil (Gibasis pellucida) and small-leaf spiderwort (Tradescantia fluminensis) are both invasive species in natural areas throughout Florida. However, very little is known regarding herbicide control. To provide land managers with herbicidal control options for both species, postemergence herbicides were evaluated for efficacy in a g...

... 3 May, approximately 6 weeks after sticking cuttings (mostly cloudy skies, 26 • C, 76% relative humidity, and calm winds), each pot contained four individual fully rooted plants that were approximately 40 to 50 cm in length. At this time, all plants were removed from the greenhouse and placed onto a gravel area outdoors where selected herbicides (Table 1) were applied using a CO 2 backpack sprayer calibrated to deliver 234 L ha −1 using a TeeJet 8004 flat fan nozzle (TeeJet Technologies, Wheaton, IL, USA) at 241 kpa. All herbicide treatments were selected based on previous efficacy studies conducted separately on G. pellucida and T. fluminensis and included options that would be labeled for application in and around riparian habitats [10,14]. ...
