Herbicide Registration Process for aquatic registration ~ 140 health and environmental tests ~ 8-10 years for full EPA registration ~ $40-60 million for aquatic registration

Herbicide Registration USEPA registers for aquatic use FDACS registers for FL use – envt. agencies comment to FDACS – new compounds - uses / sites FWC permits / contracts use in water – funds research rates, selectivity, timing, synergy

Research Management Reproductive methods – seed / propagule viability Weakness in life cycle Susceptibility to available controls – synergistic effects Impacts to non-target organisms

$26.7 million Funded 221 projects Research Program

Mesocosm Herbicide Research Ponds Small lakes Large scale

Minimize Herbicide Use Integrate with other methods Apply lowest effective rates Apply when target is most susceptible Control before problems develop

Management Decisions Uses / functions Plant species present Impairment Technology Current conditions Budget

Management Dilemma Manager perspective – control invasive plants before they become a problem Stakeholder perspective – don’t control plants until they become a problem
