Presentation summary:
This presentation covers the impacts of invasive plants and the characteristics which make them so successful. Common invasive plant species are described for identification purposes. In addition, the presentation will discuss distribution, site preferences, dispersal methods, and control measures for each plant. The key principles for controlling grasses, vines, shrubs, and trees will be examined as each requires slightly different measures. An integrated approach to control will be provided for each with a focus on herbicides and their application.  

Presented By: David Jackson, Penn State University Cooperative Extension
