The following are resources that SICIM has compiled that may be useful to guide your control and management of invasive plant species.
SICIM does not endorse particular treatment protocols or herbicides. Herbicides, and other chemicals and mechanical control equipment, are inherently dangerous. They should be used by trained experts and/or with much caution. If you choose to use herbicides or mechanical equipment, always read and follow the herbicide label and herbicide/equipment safety precautions. Seek professional assistance or training whenever possible.
