r � <br /> SCHEDULE 4F ACTIVITIES FOR REED CA�'�TARY GRASS <br /> Year 1 <br /> Fall �lpplication af Glyphosate (Rodeo, Roundup): A fall application of glyphosate <br /> will kill off nearly IOQ% of the existiug reed canary grass. Make sure that the pla.nt is still <br /> physiologically active befors spraying. <br /> Year 2 <br /> Late Winter/Earl�� Sprin� Burn: This burn should take plsce 30-- days after the fall <br /> application o£the glyphosate. <br /> Spring Appiication of Glyphosate: This spring applicatian wi11 kill the grasses seed <br /> bank as it begins to grow. Reed canary grass is one of the first plants to emerge and ane of the <br /> last plants to go donnant in the faU thus making it an easy target for herbicides. Additional <br /> glyphosate treatmerns may be required to cornpletely eradicate reed canary grass. <br /> Sprin� Seeding: After the glyphosate application has taken place in the spring the <br /> suggested seed mix should be planted (Attachment C). This plariting should not take place untii <br /> 14 days after the application has taken place. <br /> Year 3 <br /> Verifs�that the area is still do�►i�or becoming dominated bS�native species. If reed <br /> canary grass still persists, ano�er spring applieation followed by a fall appiication may be <br /> needed. The exrly and Iate glyphosate application can also be effective,providing 49% control in <br /> the first year(Paveglio&Kilbride 1996). <br /> CONTROL OF EXISTTNG CREEPING CHARLIE & GARLIC �IUSTARU <br /> Eradication of creeping charlie(ground ivy)is not nroposed at this rime as it occurs only in very <br /> limited locations however gresent and futzue homeowners should be attered to �e presence or <br /> possible presence of this species. The area where creeping charlie does occur is in an area likely <br /> to be affected by grading for fixture lot development 5uch areas are covered with sod or seeded <br /> once construction activities have ceased. As for the garlic mustard, this species was found as <br /> isol�ted individuals in the mesic hardwood forest at the head af a reed canary grass sv�•ale. With <br /> the isolated and concentrated locatioi� of plants present, nov�� wauld be an ideal time to control <br /> this species. The control methods to deal wifli these small patches would be hand pulling if in the <br /> flowering sta.ge, mowing,'cutting the garlic mustard before it starts to flawer or spot treatment <br /> with 1.5°/a solutian of glyphosate during the spring or fall. <br /> Svoboda Ecological Resources I p 200&350 Stubbs$ay Rd <br /> Project Numba:2014-037 Orono,�T <br />
