Invasive plants have a negative environmental and
economic impact on Florida’s landscape, waterways and lakes.
As a part of our efforts to be a responsible
wildlife management organization we have embraced the need to eradicate all
invasive plants we come into contact with, without causing negative
environmental effects.
This means we choose not to use herbicides, or
other chemical control measures.
The air potato for example can be killed by
cutting it at the base and removing it from the trees and other things it is climbing
on. Then pulling it up from the ground
and digging up all the root system. Then keep a watchful eye and pull up any new
plants.
This method is a bit more time consuming than chemicals, however it will do a better job.
If you choose to use chemicals, you still need to
dig up the roots of these plants.
