Abstract
Limnobium spongia (frogbit) is a free-floating aquatic plant that can produce extensive floating mats causing negative ecological, social, and economic impacts that can harm aquatic fauna (i.e., dissolved oxygen depletion) and restrict human uses of water. Literature describing effective control measures for frogbit is minimal. Efficacy of high and low doses of seven foliar-applied herbicides (2,4-D, florpyraux-ifen-benzyl, flumioxazin, glyphosate, imazamox, imazapyr, and triclopyr) were evaluated in a mesocosm setting in the summers of 2018, 2020, and 2021. Both emergent and submersed frogbit biomass were reduced at least 99% by imazamox (0.56 and 1.11 kg ai ha1) and imazapyr (0.42 and 0.84 kg ae ha1) 8 wk after treatment (WAT) compared with nontreated reference plants. Triclopyr (6.71 kg ae ha1) reduced frogbit biomass 92% and flumioxazin (0.42 kg ai ha1) reduced biomass 87 to 93% compared with reference plants. 2,4-D (2.12 and 4.24 kg ae ha1), glyphosate (2.83 and 5.67 kg ai ha1), triclopyr (3.36 kg ae ha1), florpyrauxifen-benzyl (0.02 and 0.05 kg ai ha1), and flumioxazin (0.21 kg ai ha1) did not reduce frogbit biomass 8 WAT compared with reference plants. Future research should consider the efficacy of different herbicide combinations to control frogbit, as well as the role of diluent volume per unit area, especially with imazamox and imazapyr. Field studies also will be useful in determining whether the results observed in this study will translate to management of frogbit in natural settings.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
