[APWG] microstegium management

[ForestRuss at aol.com]

Dear All:
 
During the past several years I have spent a nearly obscene amount of time  
trying to figure out how to control the spread of Japanese stiltgrass,  
Microstegium vimineum, in my extremely fertile central West Virginia  woodland that 
is near the epicenter of a major invasion by the weed.
 
It appears that the spread of Microstegium is far outpacing the research  
that is investigating the environmental impacts and consequences of a stiltgrass  
invasion.
 
With that in mind. I recently prepared an article for the Woodland  Owners 
Association of West Virginia newsletter listing insights I have  developed and 
suggestions for containing the spread of stiltgrass.
 
I hope that the information on the following link is of some use to APWG or  
PCA list members.
