| Abstract/Contents: | "Because of thousands of years of adaptation to the native climate, prairie forbs ("wildflowers") present a large potential for their use in beautification projects along roadsides, in large backyards, and in nature centers. Vegetaion in abandoned, naturally revegetated, grass-dominated areas can be managed to encourage a forb-dominated stage. Two grass herbicides [sethoxydim (PoastTM) and fluazifop (Ornamec-170TM)], three burning treatments (winter, early spring, and late spring), and two mowing treatments (fall and late spring) were tested to determine their effect on forb cover and species diversity in a mid-successional tallgrass prairie. One application of either of the herbicides, at the time of recommended growth stage of target grasses, changed species composition significantly (80% forbs vs. 46% forbs in control plots; P<0.05) in favor of showy forbs. Species diversity of sprayed plots was relatively low, however. Burning was the next best alternative (averaging 63% forbs) that also resulted in highest species diversity. Fall and late spring mowing reduced cover of forbs (32%) and species diversity to levels lower than those found in control plots. Cover of Solidago canadensis (tall goldenrod) in sethoxydim-treated plots increased to 22.8% compared to 2.5% in control plots. Cirsium discolor (pasture thistle) and Rudbeckia hirta (black-eyed susan) also increased significantly in response to herbicide treatments." |
