Invasive plants management database from Mark Renz
A new invasive plant control database is online and ready for your use.
It was developed by the Midwest Invasive Plant Network (MIPN) in cooperation with UW-Extension weed specialist Mark Renz’ lab in the Agronomy Department of the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
It's a little slow to load after you click on the link (above) but it worked well for me and it has a cool factor.
Click "Start Search". The next window is Select Plant. Here's the buggy part. If you choose "Free Form Search" nothing happens unless you type in a plant name. I put in Privet and was given the choice of 2-varieties to select. Or, choose Common Name List to see the 40-plants covered.
"Information on non-chemical and chemical control methods is provided, including the appropriate timing of treatments and effectiveness of method. A key feature of the database is the ability to conduct a customizable search. Users can search information by applicator experience level, habitat where the species is being controlled; season control is taking place, and effectiveness of method. Information within this database was extensively reviewed by four individuals for each species, two of whom are experts on the species."
