[APWG] mechanical stiltgrass control

[ForestRuss at aol.com]

APWG:
 
Recently, I hosted a program in central West Virginia woodland that  
included a tour of areas impacted by Bipolaris fungus and forested areas where  
mechanical control of Microstegium has been underway for several years.
 
We began mechanical treatment here at Crummies Creek Demonstration Forest  
over a decade ago because of the potential conflict between in-the-forest  
medicinal plant production and chemical herbicide residues in plants intended 
 for use in herbal medicines. 
 
Because almost nothing has been written on practical aspects of mechanical  
control of Japanese stiltgrass I developed a short paper on mechanical 
control  of stiltgrass for distribution of the session.  The paper was very well 
 received and will be released as a WVU Extension publication later this  
summer.
