Prevention and Control
Prevention
A Weed Risk Assessment was carried out for D. erecta in the Hawaii-Pacific region, resulting in a score of 13 (HPWRA, 2003). This high score suggests that the species presents a high risk and is likely to be an invasive plant. This information can be used in decision making with regard to importation and planting of the species outside its native range.
Control
In Australia, recommendations for control outlined by the Queensland Government (DAF, 2016) include:
•
Hand pulling of smaller plants, ensuring all the roots are fully removed.
•
Treating cut stumps immediately with an appropriate herbicide to prevent regrowth.
•
Limiting seed set until invaded sites can be treated with herbicides.
•
Ongoing monitoring of treated sites to detect any regrowth or seedlings.
Herbicides for the control of D. erecta include metsulfuron-methyl, 2,4-D + picloram and fluroxypyr (for spot spraying) and triclopyr + picloram and fluroxpyr (for basal bark or cut stumps) (DAF, 2016).
