survey - <i>Microstegium </i>distribution and disease</u> <br>
<br>
To land owners, managers,
and anyone interested in natural areas preservation, </span><br>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;"></span><br>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;">We are studying the
accumulation of pathogens on the invasive plant <i style="">Microstegium
vimineum</i> (Japanese stiltgrass) and are seeking
information on the distribution of <i style="">Microstegium</i>,
age and size of invasions, and disease occurrence. We are particularly
interested in very new, small invasions and very old, large invasions.<o:p></o:p><br>
<br>
<b>Please complete the survey below. It should take less than 1 minute!
</b><br>
<br>
Location (nearest town, state):<br>
Name of property:<br>
Does <i style="">Microstegium</i> occur on this
property?:<br>
<br>
1. How 'old' is the invasion?:<br>
___<3 yrs<br>
___3-10 yrs<br>
___10-20 yrs<br>
___>20 yrs (please provide approximate age if known:____________)<br>
<br>
2. How large is the invasion:<br>
___small (<1 acre)<br>
___common (a few acres, many locations)<br>
___very large (covers many acres)<br>
<br>
3. Have you ever found disease symptoms on invading <i style="">Microstegium</i>,
such as leaf lesions, wilting or dying plants, etc.?
If so, please describe!<br>
<br>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica;">***If you manage
multiple properties that are separated by more than 5 miles, please
fill out
the survey for each property - especially if the age/size/disease
occurrence is
different for each property.</span></tt></big>
