Introduction
Herbicides: chemicals used for killing plants or severely interrupting their normal growth processes
May be charged (polar or ionic) or uncharged (nonpolar)
The chemical makeup of an herbicide’s active ingredient determines its toxicity, solubility, absorption characteristics, behavior in plants,
behavior in soil, environmental fate, and selectivity
![Page 27: Natural Area Weed Management - University of Florida Wedne… · Developed by: Fred Fishel, Ken Langeland (retired), Stephen Enloe, and Lyn Gettys UF/IFAS Agronomy Modified & presented](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022041006/5eab8dc2d7ae6043ba145794/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Toxicity of Herbicides Used in Natural Areas
Risk = Hazard x Exposure
Risk to wildlife is determined as the product of hazard and exposure
![Page 28: Natural Area Weed Management - University of Florida Wedne… · Developed by: Fred Fishel, Ken Langeland (retired), Stephen Enloe, and Lyn Gettys UF/IFAS Agronomy Modified & presented](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022041006/5eab8dc2d7ae6043ba145794/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Toxicity of Herbicides Used in Natural Areas
Public HealthTests: acute, subchronic, chronic toxicityRoutes of entry, birth defects, tumors, cancer….etc
Residue tolerances are established at 100 or 1,000 lower than the
herbicide concentration tolerated by test animals
![Page 29: Natural Area Weed Management - University of Florida Wedne… · Developed by: Fred Fishel, Ken Langeland (retired), Stephen Enloe, and Lyn Gettys UF/IFAS Agronomy Modified & presented](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022041006/5eab8dc2d7ae6043ba145794/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Herbicide SolubilitySalts of triclopyr amine, 2,4-D amine, glyphosate are water soluble
Water-soluble herbicides do not mix with oil, and oil does not mix with water
![Page 30: Natural Area Weed Management - University of Florida Wedne… · Developed by: Fred Fishel, Ken Langeland (retired), Stephen Enloe, and Lyn Gettys UF/IFAS Agronomy Modified & presented](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022041006/5eab8dc2d7ae6043ba145794/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Absorption of Herbicides by Plants
Absorption: the process by which an herbicide passes from one system into another, e.g., from the soil solution into a plant root cell or from the leaf surface into leaf cells
![Page 31: Natural Area Weed Management - University of Florida Wedne… · Developed by: Fred Fishel, Ken Langeland (retired), Stephen Enloe, and Lyn Gettys UF/IFAS Agronomy Modified & presented](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022041006/5eab8dc2d7ae6043ba145794/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Foliar Absorption
The cuticle is the first and most important barrier to the absorption of an herbicide on a leaf surface
![Page 32: Natural Area Weed Management - University of Florida Wedne… · Developed by: Fred Fishel, Ken Langeland (retired), Stephen Enloe, and Lyn Gettys UF/IFAS Agronomy Modified & presented](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022041006/5eab8dc2d7ae6043ba145794/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Foliar Absorption
Surfactants added to spray mixes can help overcome surface tension and aid in uptake of the herbicide
![Page 33: Natural Area Weed Management - University of Florida Wedne… · Developed by: Fred Fishel, Ken Langeland (retired), Stephen Enloe, and Lyn Gettys UF/IFAS Agronomy Modified & presented](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022041006/5eab8dc2d7ae6043ba145794/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Root Absorption and Behavior in Soils
Adsorption: the process whereby chemicals (including herbicides) are retained on the surfaces of soil particles
Most important factor by which herbicides become unavailable for uptake from soilsHumus is considered the most important soil constituent that affects absorption by plant roots
![Page 34: Natural Area Weed Management - University of Florida Wedne… · Developed by: Fred Fishel, Ken Langeland (retired), Stephen Enloe, and Lyn Gettys UF/IFAS Agronomy Modified & presented](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022041006/5eab8dc2d7ae6043ba145794/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

Terminology
Classify herbicides by following categories: • Pre-emergent vs. post-emergent• Selective vs. nonselective• Contact vs. translocated• Persistent vs. non-persistent• Their modes of action

Resistance in General
Resistance can develop when the same pesticide or similar ones with the same mode of action are used repeatedly
Pests don’t change or mutate in response to a pesticide; the population changes

Broadcast applications are used where damage to non-target vegetation is not a concern

Basal Bark Applications
The herbicide must be in an oil-soluble formulation
(emulsifiable concentrate)
![Page 54: Natural Area Weed Management - University of Florida Wedne… · Developed by: Fred Fishel, Ken Langeland (retired), Stephen Enloe, and Lyn Gettys UF/IFAS Agronomy Modified & presented](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022041006/5eab8dc2d7ae6043ba145794/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Hack-and-Squirt Applications
Incisions should be angled downward at approximately 45° to hold herbicide in the cut
Herbicide (concentrated or diluted) is applied…
Treatments are specific and total vegetation control is not achieved
![Page 55: Natural Area Weed Management - University of Florida Wedne… · Developed by: Fred Fishel, Ken Langeland (retired), Stephen Enloe, and Lyn Gettys UF/IFAS Agronomy Modified & presented](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022041006/5eab8dc2d7ae6043ba145794/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Stump Treatments
Herbicide (concentrated or diluted) is sprayed, poured, or painted on the cut surface
Application should be directed towards just inside the bark
where the active vascular tissue is present
![Page 56: Natural Area Weed Management - University of Florida Wedne… · Developed by: Fred Fishel, Ken Langeland (retired), Stephen Enloe, and Lyn Gettys UF/IFAS Agronomy Modified & presented](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022041006/5eab8dc2d7ae6043ba145794/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Stump Treatments
Best results, especially for less susceptible species, are obtained if the herbicide is applied immediately after cutting with no more than five minutes between cutting and applying herbicide

Adjuvants
Adjuvant: any substance that is added to a pesticide spray mix to aid or modify the action of the pesticide or the physical characteristics of the mixture
![Page 58: Natural Area Weed Management - University of Florida Wedne… · Developed by: Fred Fishel, Ken Langeland (retired), Stephen Enloe, and Lyn Gettys UF/IFAS Agronomy Modified & presented](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022041006/5eab8dc2d7ae6043ba145794/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
Adjuvants
Surfactants: modify the properties of the medium at a surface or interface
Nonionic (uncharged)Anionic (negatively charged)Cationic (positively charged)
Nonionic surfactants are usually recommended for use with
herbicides

Adjuvants
Buffering agents: used to modify the pH of spray mixtures
Water conditioners: used to remove dissolved compounds such as carbonates and bicarbonates from water

Adjuvants
Antifoaming agents: used to overcome excessive foaming
Colorants: materials used to alter the color of a spray mix

Biological ControlClassical biological control: the introduction of reproducing populations of foreign insects or diseases
1967: alligatorweed thrips
1971: alligatorweed stem borer
1970s: two waterhyacinth weevils and a borer
2010: waterhyacinth planthopperHydrilla-specific leaf mining flies
Weevil and a moth for control of waterlettuce
Their development, however, takes years and cannot be expected to solve all invasive plant
problems

Biological ControlFuture implications
Development takes years
Programs are typically implemented by state and federal agencies
The use of herbivores in natural areas should be carefully considered before implementation due to potential issues
with non-target damage
