[MAIPC] Murdannia Info

[Colleen Kenny -DNR-]

Hi Alex,
We had a treatment program this year in the Pocomoke River area in MD. Used
an aquatic glyphosate 3.5%, and we hit it late spring, early summer, and
again just last week. After the first two treatments, it seemed to have
been knocked back, but I think we are also incredibly aided this year by
the dry weather. It seems like Murdannia cannot tolerate having its feet
dry out. We focused our work in areas where it was encroaching on RT&E
habitat to narrow down the scope. Filling in with a wetland seed mix where
needed, although the lizard's tail is filling in well on its own. Chris
Mourlas with Residential Reforestation was our contractor.
