Taylor, when you spray glyphosate on patches after WLBG goes to seed it takes much longer for the this grass to look dead than other species. For most species like stiltgrass you have to come back once each year for late emergents. WLBG re-emerges about 5 times even as late as November. If you have an opportunity to organize experts to go to where WLBG is native in North and South Carolina to find a native biological control that could be tested on our invasive WLBG up here that would be great. <o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#002060'>Marc Imlay, PhD, Chair, MAIPC Biological control working Group, </span></b><b><span style='font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'>MD Chapter Sierra Club Natural Places Chair.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><b><span style='font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#002060'>Conservation biologist, Park Ranger Office, Non-native Invasive Plant Control coordinator. <br>(301) 442-5657 cell <a href="mailto:ialm@erols.com" target="_blank" title="blocked::mailto:ialm@erols.com"><span style='color:#002060'>ialm@erols.com</span></a><br>Natural and Historical Resources Division<br>The Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission<br><a href="http://www.pgparks.com/" target="_blank"><span style='color:#002060'>www.pgparks.com</span></a> </span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#26282A'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></b></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>From:</span></b><b><span style='font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'> Brann, Taylor [mailto:Taylor.Brann@baltimorecity.gov] <br>Sent: Wednesday, July 18, 2018 12:49 PM<br>To: Marc Imlay <ialm@EROLS.COM><br>Subject: Wavyleaf Basketgrass in Baltimore City<o:p></o:p></span></b></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>Hi Marc,<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>There’s an area in Baltimore City that has a pretty significant infestation of wavyleaf.
