How to Kill Japanese Knotweed Using Low Volume Foam HerbicideJohn Lampe
This was a presentation at the 2014 Upper Midwest Invasive Species Conference. It discusses the use of a low drift, foam herbicide system, a novel technique for controlling knotweeds and other plants. The system was developed by Green Shoots, LLC, http://www.greenshootsonline.com/newsite/default.aspx.
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.

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.
Tree of Heaven Control using Foam HerbicideJohn 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.

Capreno herbicide provides season-long control of over 65 grass and broadleaf weeds with its two active ingredients. It has the longest residual of any postemergence corn herbicide and should be applied from V1-V5 growth stages. Capreno can be used alone at 3 fl oz/A or in combination with other herbicides like glyphosate, Liberty, and atrazine to provide flexible, one-pass weed control in corn.
Pesticides and herbicides can contribute to air pollution if suspended in the air and carried by wind to other areas, potentially affecting nearby crops or wildlife. Chemicals from pesticides and herbicides used to fumigate soil can create volatile organic compounds that react with other chemicals to form ozone, a harmful substance that affects respiration in both animals and humans. Pesticides and herbicides can also impact soil quality over time if not properly applied or contained.

Rice is one of the most important crop in the world.
The main production countries are China, India, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Viet Nam. Becides the Asian countries, rice is also welcomed as staple food in South America and Africa countries.
Weed control is important in rice cultivation. Main weeds are grassy weed, broadleaf weed and sedges.
Usually, the emergence of grassy weed is ealier than other types of weeds and the damage is heavier. Echinochloa spp is a big problem as main grassy weed in rice field.
Here are some several herbicides suggested for weed control in rice field.
Control of grassy weeds: Oxaziclomefone, Bispyribac-sodium, Cyhalofop-butyl.
Control of broadleaf weed and sedges: Bentazon, Bentazon + MCPA.
Pre-emergence is a cost-effective way, here are several combinations: Bensulfuron-methyl + Metolachlor, Bensulfuron-methyl + Pretilachlor, Bensulfuron-methyl + Mefenacet.

Precision Electronic Dispenser for Application of Herbicide Sprays and FoamJohn 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 document discusses invasive species management. It defines invasive species and explains what traits allow plants to become invasive. It emphasizes the importance of identifying invasive plants, understanding their biology, prioritizing which species to manage, and using integrated management methods. Effective management requires developing a detailed plan, using a variety of control techniques such as pulling, mowing, herbicide application, and monitoring over multiple seasons. Early detection and prevention of new invasives is crucial to success.
Weeds will invade bare or thinly planted areas of landscapes. To prevent weeds, proper site preparation is important, including removing existing weeds and amending soil if needed. Establishing plantings quickly and applying mulch are also key to preventing weed growth. When weeds do appear, regular hand removal is most effective, especially of new or small weeds before they can spread. Herbicides should rarely be needed in established landscapes and should be used carefully.
This document discusses various tools and practices for managing weeds in organic agriculture. Cultural practices like intercropping, crop rotations, and allelopathic cover crops can improve crop competitiveness and suppress weeds. Mechanical methods like hand weeding, cultivation with various tools, and flaming are effective at controlling emerged weeds. Mulching and solarization prevent weed seeds from germinating. Breeding crops to be more competitive against weeds and developing bioherbicides are also discussed.
This document provides an overview of alternative pest and disease controls that can be used in the garden. It describes various physical, biological, and least-toxic chemical controls. The guide includes details on how to use tools like floating row covers, copper slug barriers, sticky traps, and beneficial nematodes to prevent pest problems without highly toxic pesticides. It emphasizes starting with physical controls, then biological, using chemicals only as a last resort, and always following directions carefully.

This document discusses integrated pest management (IPM) strategies. IPM is a holistic approach that uses monitoring, identification, and action thresholds to determine when and how to address pest issues using cultural, physical, biological, or chemical methods. The goal is to prevent and control pests with minimal risk to humans, the environment, and other organisms. The document outlines IPM principles and provides examples of various control tactics within each category.
This document provides information on choosing the right lawn fungicide. It discusses that fungicides prevent, kill, or slow down grass diseases. Integrated Pest Management (IPM) should be the foundation of disease control and rely on proper fertilizing, watering, and using biological controls before fungicides. When choosing a fungicide, it is important to identify the disease, use a product that works on the affecting fungus, and apply it properly. Fungicides can be contact or systemic, and both provide protection, though systemics remain active longer and require less coverage. Safety for pets and the environment should also be considered.
This document summarizes weed control methods for organic blueberry production, including prevention, mulching, mechanical control, biological control using geese, and organic herbicides. Prevention focuses on sanitation and using weed-free materials. Mulches like plastic, organic mulches, and living mulches are discussed. Mechanical methods include hand weeding, cultivation, mowing, and flaming. Chinese weeder geese can be used for biological control if grass is present. The document reviews several organic herbicides including horticultural vinegar, clove oil products, and bitter almond extract, providing use rates and efficacy information. Photos demonstrate the performance of different organic herbicides on various weed species.
Knapsack sprayers can be useful for spot-spraying infected plants on large farms, as they allow farmers to more thoroughly spray affected areas while saving on chemicals, tractor costs, and time. Examples given include spot-spraying individual cabbage plants infected with aphids or patches of weeds. Knapsack sprayers are also effective for spraying hard to reach areas of crops, like the growth tips of young cabbage plants. Properly configured knapsack sprayers can provide good weed control with lower herbicide rates. Models using diaphragm pressure work better than plunger models due to fewer parts that can break down.
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.
The document discusses several threats to biodiversity, including habitat destruction, fragmentation, invasive species, pollution, overexploitation, and disease. It notes that between 1980 and 2040, it is projected that 4.1 million acres of open space in Michigan will become urbanized, representing a 178% increase. The document also provides information on invasive species, identifying several invasive plants of major concern, such as garlic mustard, buckthorn, honeysuckle, and purple loosestrife. It discusses management techniques for invasive species, including prescribed burning, biological control, mechanical control, and chemical control using herbicides.

Precision Foam and Spray Dispensers from Green ShootsJohn Lampe
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.
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/ .
How to Kill a Tree without Cutting It DownJohn Lampe
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.
Best Time to Kill Weeds Especially PerennialsJohn 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.
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.
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.
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

Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...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.

Evolving Lifecycles with High Resolution Site Characterization (HRSC) and 3-D...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.
