Miller, James H.; Manning, Steven T.; Enloe, Stephen F. 2010. A management guide for invasive plants in southern forests. Gen. Tech. Rep. SRS–131. Asheville, NC: U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service, Southern Research Station. 120 p.

The following are management strategies and herbicide prescription summaries for prevalent invasive plants, detailing mainly selective application treatments. These management strategies and prescriptions have been assembled from published research results, unpublished trials, State reports, weed council manuals, magazines, and Web sites. In general, few species-specific experiments have been reported that compare a full array of treatments for invasive plant species. But until further specific understanding is gained, we must proceed with current knowledge and technology to manage their invasions. Herbicides are mentioned in order by effectiveness when comparative information is available or alphabetically when such information is lacking. Remember to not exceed the label-specified maximum herbicide amounts per acre, especially when using selective application treatments.
