- Author(s):Publication Year: 2014Source:Publication Type:Code:Sustainability dimension(s):Topics:Subtopics:Subject Keywords: Pesticides ChemicalsAlternative Strategy: Mycoherbicides are microbial pathogens which (ideally) control certain introduced plants selectively. Many rusts are highly host-specific, affecting only few or a single plant species. Besides the fungus Fusarium tumidum which attacks gorse, mycoherbicides include the rust Puccinia chondrillina that successfully controls skeleton weed (Davenhill 1997), the rust Phragmidium violaceum used against blackberry (Rubus) species (Julien & Griffiths 1998), and the fungus Chondrostereum purpureum which for control of stump sprouting of broad-leaved trees (Becker 2005).Alternative Method: ReplacementActive Ingredient:Alternative Trial: YesAlternative Type: Specific strategyPest Type: Weed
- Author(s):Publication Year: 2014Source:Publication Type:Code:Sustainability dimension(s):Topics:Subtopics:Subject Keywords: Pesticides ChemicalsAlternative Strategy: Cultivation (ploughing): Site cultivation can improve growth conditions by disturbance of existing pest plants, cultivation of the soil and compaction relief. However it does not avoid herbicide use as cultivation also stimulates competing weed vegetation. Used in combination with an appropriate herbicide application, site cultivation can reduce the number of herbicide applications required.Alternative Method: ReductionActive Ingredient:Alternative Trial: YesAlternative Type: Specific strategyPest Type: Weed
