Method for Controlling Buckthorn - Society for Ecological Restoration 2011John Lampe
This presentation describes a novel way to control woody invasive plant species like buckthorn. It is especially suitable for small woodland owners and managers.

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 SpeciesJohn 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 2014 Upper Midwest Invasive Species Conference: http://www.slideshare.net/johnlampe/how-to-kill-i.
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.
English ivy ( Hedera helix) is highly invasive in North America and other parts of the world. It can overtake forests and kill native trees and understory plants. This presentation describes how to use Green Shoots Foam Herbicide systems to kill English ivy vines. The Green Shoots system is so effective because Herbicide is so effective because it is highly precise; the foam clings to the target surface; and the foam dries slowly increasing absorption.
How to Kill a Tree that Is Invasive or Unwanted: 5 TipsJohn Lampe
This presentation describes how to kill an invasive or unwanted tree using herbicide. The presentation covers when you should work on the target weed tree; what technique you should use on that target weed tree (cut stump or hack-and-squirt); and what herbicide you should use;
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.
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.
This presentation explains how to kill kudzu vines. Kudzu is a major invasive plant that can kill native plants by limiting access to light. The presentation explains the 3 steps necessary to eradicate kudzu.

Tree of Heaven Control using Foam HerbicideJohn Lampe
This presentation discusses how to control tree of heaven (Ailanthus altissima). Tree-of-heaven can be very difficult to control. If it is cut down, new sprouts will emerge from remaining stump and roots. Research has indicated that two techniques work well for killing tree-of-heaven: hack-and-squirt - also know as stem injection or frill. In addition, the cut stump treatment also works. One of the best research papers is by DiTomaso et al. 2007.
