This presentation discusses how to kill a tree without cutting it down and using an herbicide. Our other presentation discusses how to do this without herbicide, "How to Kill a Tree without Chemical." In either case, one of the great benefits of a standing dead tree, or snag, is that it provides great habitat for wildlife. The key question you have to ask is whether the location where the tree is going to stand is suitable. It cannot be close to places that people frequent or near your house or vehicles. Inevitably, the tree will fall. The techniques used in this presentation to kill the tree are the injection method where holes are drilled into the tree's vascular system. The other method is the frill method where a hatchet or other tool is used to cut a slit through the outer bark into the live inner bark.

How to Kill a
Tree Without
Cutting it Down
By: John Lampe

Here are answers
to questions you
might have.

First Question
Can I leave a
standing dead
tree?

4
Standing, dead
trees are great
habitat for wildlife.
Woodpecker

Work of a pileated
woodpecker on a
dead aspen tree.

However, be careful!
A dead tree will eventually fall.

Make sure that it will not fall near people or
property.

Herbicide will kill a tree
faster and with greater
ease and certainty.

If you don’t want to use herbicide, see
the Green Shoots® video:
“How to Kill a Tree without Chemical.”

Inner bark
or phloem
(live tissue)
The objective is to introduce the herbicide into
the live inner bark or “phloem.”

Phloem sap transports energy and nutrients
between the leaves and roots.

In springtime, phloem sap is rising . . .
Sap

In fall and winter, phloem sap is falling . . .

. . . to store energy and nutrients in roots.

The herbicide will travel with the sap. . .
Herbicide
Sap

to reach the roots and kill the entire tree.

Third Question
How do I
use the
herbicide?

Select the right herbicide: glyphosate
works well and is readily available to
most consumers.

The herbicide should have active
ingredient of at least 20%.

Read and follow the label on the
herbicide.

Dilute the mixture with water to about
20% active ingredient.

Use a chisel (or knife) for trees with thin bark.

Use a hatchet for trees with thicker bark.

Use a drill for trees with very thick bark . . . or

. . . if you don’t like using a hatchet or chisel.

With a hatchet or chisel, cut the slit at a 30
degree angle into the bark.

Inner bark or
phloem (live tissue)
If using a drill, drill at 45 degree angle.

Sapwood
You should see white sapwood which is moist.

6 inches above ground level is ideal but . . .
6 inches

. . . you can cut higher if cutting low is difficult.
25 inches?

Leave the little flap
of bark if possible
to help retain the
herbicide.)

Immediately apply foam
herbicide to the slit –
don’t wait longer than a
few minutes.

Frill cuts – several with foam herbicide.

Apply the foam to the slit and inside of the flap.

. . . travel in the phloem and down to the roots.
Inner bark or
phloem (live
tissue)

Cut another slit at the base of the tree.

Or, if using a drill, drill all around the base.

Do not disturb the tree for about a year.

Carpenter ants can cause damage to homes but there are least-toxic methods for control. They nest in damp wood and construct smooth galleries. To prevent infestations, reduce moisture in the home and use resistant wood. Infestations can be monitored by looking for frass piles and live ants. Control methods include manipulating temperature, using boric acid or silica dusts applied with protection. Ongoing maintenance prevents further issues.

14 wood preservation

MrWoodwork

Wood preservation involves protecting wood from insects, fungi, weathering and wear and tear. It prolongs the life of wood and prevents natural decay. The main types of wood preservatives are tar oil, water-borne and solvent-based preservatives. Tar oils are dark liquids made from coal tar that are toxic to fungi and insects. Water-borne preservatives use toxic salts and water that leave the salts in the wood after treatment. Solvent-based preservatives use toxic chemicals dissolved in solvents left in the wood after treatment. Pressure treatment is the most effective application method, forcing the preservative deep into the wood using pressure and vacuum.

Tree of Heaven Control using Foam Herbicide

John Lampe

Tree of Heaven is a invasive species that can be difficult to control. Herbicides applied in late summer or fall after the sap has flowed down are most effective for killing the roots. Two recommended techniques are hack-and-squirt and cut stump. For hack-and-squirt, cuts are made into the inner bark and herbicide foam is inserted. For cut stump, the tree is cut down leaving a 2-5 inch stump and herbicide foam is applied to the exposed phloem. Both techniques require leaving the stump undisturbed for 6 weeks to ensure the herbicide kills the roots.

How to Kill English Ivy Vines: 3 Steps

John Lampe

This document provides a 3-step process for killing invasive English ivy vines: 1. Prepare by identifying the target plant as English ivy and removing climbing vines first. 2. Cut the vines using loppers or saws to sever them from trees and structures. 3. Apply a herbicide like glyphosate or triclopyr to the freshly cut stumps within 5-10 minutes using a foam applicator to ensure absorption. Leave treated stumps for at least 4 months to fully kill the ivy.

1) Build a shelter by forming an angular shape with branches and logs for stability and protection, such as a lean-to built against a large rock or log. 2) Quickly consider all survival options and the best course of action. Make a fire using a magnifying glass or glasses to focus sunlight on dry tinder. 3) Set a trap if unable to hunt, such as a pit trap with sharp branches at the bottom covered with thin branches across the top.

Bonsai in three_years

Xavier Lapeyre

1) The document provides guidance for beginners to develop quality bonsai trees within three years by acquiring good material and following proper development steps. 2) Common mistakes like immediately potting small material and using refinement techniques too early retard bonsai development and should be avoided. 3) The author recommends starting with species that grow vigorously, collecting or planting in the ground for trunk development, frequent fertilizing, and patience.

Precision Electronic Dispenser for Application of Herbicide Sprays and Foam

John Lampe

This talk was given at the Innovations in Invasive Species Management Conference in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, held from December 10-12, 2019. Abstract: Conventional backpack sprayers and nozzles use technology adapted from agricultural spraying systems. In the context of managing natural areas and invasive plants, however, this can be problematic, especially at sites with desirable native plants. Conventional spray systems are designed to be used with high pressure. High pressure produces greater quantities of tiny spray drops. These tiny spray drops can easily move off-target, carried by the wind and even air currents created by the act of spraying. This presentation discusses new results from ongoing tests of the Precision Electronic Dispenser from Green Shoots®. The Precision Electronic Dispenser uses ultra-low pressure (generally under about 10 psi) to deliver an herbicide mixture either as an aqueous foam or as liquid spray drops. The potential benefits of ultra-low pressure include: lowering herbicide usage; reducing mortality of nearby desirable plants; and minimizing exposure of workers and the broader environment.

This Green Shoots Product Guide introduces you to our precision dispenser products. Our dispensers can all dispense foam. Most of our customers use our foam dispensers to apply foam herbicide to kill invasive plants. The foam weed killer can be applied as a foam spray - this allows the rapid application of foam herbicide. It can be applied as a foam herbicide wipe which permits very precise applications of foam weed killer. Our newest dispenser is the Precision Electronic Dispenser. The Precision Electronic can be used to dispense both foams and liquid spray. When set up for liquid spray, it dispenses an ultra-low pressure spray which reduces off-target harm to desirable plants and limits harm to the environment.

Kill Crown Vetch in 3 Steps

John Lampe

This presentation shows how to remove crown vetch. Crown vetch has long stems that allow it to grown and cover desirable plants. The difficulty in controlling it is that spraying weed killer may also kill those desirable plants. This presentation shows how to control crown vetch without harming those desirable, native plants. It uses foam herbicide from Green Shoots, https://www.greenshootsonline.com/ .

Garden Weed Killer - Kill Weeds - Not Garden Plants

John Lampe

Precision is critical for killing garden weeds. You need to kill just the weed without harming nearby desirable plants. This is important in any garden but especially gardens with perennials, either native or cultivars. This presentation discusses two techniques for precisely controlling garden weeds, herbicide wiping and cut stem. With both of these techniques, foam weed killer from Green Shoots is used. As shown in these slides, highly accurate applications of weed killer can be made using foam weed killer.

Precision Herbicide Spray and Foam

John Lampe

This is an October 2018 Presentation given at the Joint Conference of the North American Invasive Species Management Association and the Upper Midwest Invasive Species Conference. A key point in this presentation is that invasive plant management in natural areas requires applications of herbicide be very precise (and accurate). Why? A critical reason is this: native plants in natural areas such as prairies can live a very long time. According to Laurenroth et al. (2008), forbs (flowering plants that aren’t woody plants or grasses) can live about 3 to 25 years and grasses can live from 5 to 39 years. If an herbicide application kills one of those valuable perennials, a significant environmental loss occurs.

Best Time to Kill Weeds Especially Perennials

John Lampe

Most people apply herbicides or weed killer at the wrong time of year. This is especially true for perennials. Why? First, you are probably most motivated in the springtime when you first get outside. Second, herbicide labels direct you to apply the herbicide when plants are "actively growing." If there's anytime when weeds are "actively growing," it's in the spring! If you do apply a weed killer to a perennial in spring when weeds are growing fast, you will see evidence of harm to the foliage. However, because sugars are pushing from the roots and rhizomes into the leaves, it can be very difficult for the herbicide to translocate to the roots and underground storage components of the plant. Therefore, you will see a "top-kill" of the invasive plant, but the plant likely will re-sprout. This video gives advice on how to avoid such problems.

How to Use Loppers Efficiently - 7 Tips

John Lampe

Loppers are a great tool for cutting branches and stems up to about 1.5 inches in diameter. This video provides 7 tips on ways to increase their efficiency and make your work easier. The seven tips are: First, choose the right lopper for the job. Second, maintain the loppers. This includes cleaning off sap; sharpening, lubricating, and tightening loose hardware. Third, when cutting, insert the branch deep into the jaws. Fourth, when cutting, use gravity to assist your work. For example, when cutting a branch, point the blade downward. If the blade is pointed upward, the weight of the branch will cause it to pinch the blade. Fifth, when cutting, minimize friction. For example, to cut a small tree, don't cut the trunk first. Instead, cut off the branches and leave a tall stump. When cutting the trunk, make sure the blade face is facing upward. This will reduce the pinching of the blade.

Ultra-Low Pressure Herbicide Dispenser Reduces Drift and Increases Target Adh...

John Lampe

Green Shoots, LLC, will introduce a new ultra-low pressure electric sprayer in 2017. The dispenser can dispense both spray and foam. Ultra-low pressure means there's less misting of the spray which translates into less drift, less off-target harm, and fewer fine spray particles that can cause harm to the operator. Moreover, ultra-low pressure means the battery can be smaller and lighter but still operate just as long. If you have questions, contact us at john@greenshootsonline.com.

Brush Killer: Why Is Foam Herbicide So Effective on Brush?

John Lampe

Why is Green Shoots foam herbicide such an effective brush killer? This presentation explains why. As shown, there are 3 primary reasons Green Shoots Foam Herbicide is so effective: First, foam herbicide is highly precise; second, foam herbicide clings tenaciously to the target plant; and third, foam herbicide dries slowly allowing the herbicide to fully absorb into target weed. We also provide you with examples of different kinds of brush that can be effectively killed with foam herbicide.

Girdling Trees to Create Snags and Coarse Wood Debris and to Improve Wildlife...

John Lampe

Girdling trees and creating snags (dead, standing trees) is a great way to thin woodlots. We discuss how to do this with and without herbicide. Research indicates snags and coarse woody debris - all forms of dead wood - are vital to wildlife. The techniques for girdling trees include both mechanical girdles where the phloem layer is completely removed with a hatchet or other implement and chemical girdling where an herbicide is applied to the girdle. Some trees such as aspen can be girdled without using herbicides. Some trees such as red pine are tougher to kill and require applying an herbicide into the cuts. Another way to create a snag is to cut off all the branches. This method works for most conifers but won't work for most deciduous trees.

Targeted Weed Killer: Precision Foam Herbicide Delivery System

John Lampe

One of the biggest drawbacks of conventional herbicide application systems is that they cannot target weeds precisely. Green Shoots has introduced a revolutionary new herbicide delivery system that applies herbicides exactly where you want them - with dramatically reduced drift, overspray, or drip. The system can be used with foliar, cut surface, and wiping techniques. This presentation shows before and after photos demonstrating the effectiveness of the system.

Injection of Herbicides into Rhizomes of Knotweeds and Other Invasive Species

John Lampe

This document is a presentation on methods for controlling invasive knotweed species. It discusses current chemical control methods like foliar spraying, stem injection, and cut stem treatments. It notes the disadvantages of these methods, like using large amounts of herbicide and causing off-target damage. The presentation explores ways to improve methods by reducing the quantity of herbicide used and minimizing off-target impacts. It describes experiments with injecting herbicides into knotweed rhizomes and bending stems to expose tissue before treatment. The goal is developing more effective and sustainable control techniques.

John Lampe

We ran trials on this method for a few years as did other organizations and individuals. Ultimately, we did not find its efficacy to outweigh the labor involved. Therefore, Green Shoots decided not to launch the product. We have however had real success with foliar applications using our Green Shoots Foam Herbicide Dispenser. John Lampe gave a presentation on that system at the Upper Midwest Invasive Species Conference: http://www.slideshare.net/johnlampe/how-to-kill-i.

Method for Controlling Buckthorn - Society for Ecological Restoration 2011

John Lampe

Wed am manage_woody_lampe

John Lampe

The document describes the "Tall Stump Treatment Method" for controlling buckthorn, an invasive species. The method involves three phases - preparation, cutting, and treatment. In the preparation phase, the property is surveyed to identify the worst buckthorn trees. In the cutting phase, the identified trees are cut high, leaving tall stumps. The treatment phase involves using a scraper and herbicide applicator to apply herbicide to the cut stump using the frill method. The advantages of this method are that it is efficient, splits the work into phases that can be separated by months, makes identification and retreatment of stumps easy, reduces fire risk, and exposes more cambium for better treatment outcomes while minimizing soil and herbicide

Microbial characterisation and identification, and potability of River Kuywa ...

Open Access Research Paper

Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.

Open Access Research Paper

The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.

Open Access Research Paper

Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.

Recycling and Disposal on SWM Raymond Einyu pptx

RayLetai1

Increasing urbanization, rural–urban migration, rising standards of living, and rapid development associated with population growth have resulted in increased solid waste generation by industrial, domestic and other activities in Nairobi City. It has been noted in other contexts too that increasing population, changing consumption patterns, economic development, changing income, urbanization and industrialization all contribute to the increased generation of waste. With the increasing urban population in Kenya, which is estimated to be growing at a rate higher than that of the country’s general population, waste generation and management is already a major challenge. The industrialization and urbanization process in the country, dominated by one major city – Nairobi, which has around four times the population of the next largest urban centre (Mombasa) – has witnessed an exponential increase in the generation of solid waste. It is projected that by 2030, about 50 per cent of the Kenyan population will be urban. Aim: A healthy, safe, secure and sustainable solid waste management system fit for a world – class city. Improve and protect the public health of Nairobi residents and visitors. Ecological health, diversity and productivity and maximize resource recovery through the participatory approach. Goals: Build awareness and capacity for source separation as essential components of sustainable waste management. Build new environmentally sound infrastructure and systems for safe disposal of residual waste and replacing current dumpsites which should be commissioned. Current solid waste management situation: The status. Solid waste generation rate is at 2240 tones / day collection efficiently is at about 50%. Actors i.e. city authorities, CBO’s , private firms and self-disposal Current SWM Situation in Nairobi City: Solid waste generation – collection – dumping Good Practices: • Separation – recycling – marketing. • Open dumpsite dandora dump site through public education on source separation of waste, of which the situation can be reversed. • Nairobi is one of the C40 cities in this respect , various actors in the solid waste management space have adopted a variety of technologies to reduce short lived climate pollutants including source separation , recycling , marketing of the recycled products. • Through the network, it should expect to benefit from expertise of the different actors in the network in terms of applicable technologies and practices in reducing the short-lived climate pollutants. Good practices: Despite the dismal collection of solid waste in Nairobi city, there are practices and activities of informal actors (CBOs, CBO-SACCOs and yard shop operators) and other formal industrial actors on solid waste collection, recycling and waste reduction. Practices and activities of these actor groups are viewed as innovations with the potential to change the way solid waste is handled. CHALLENGES: • Resource Allocation.

Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...

Joshua Orris

Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system. Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs. In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier. The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.

Joshua Orris

The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.
