Abstract

Harungana (Harungana madagascariensis Lam. ex Poir), an aggressive exotic pioneering tree species, is currently invading the Wet Tropics World Heritage areas of north Queensland. A chemical trial involving ten herbicides was undertaken to identify effective chemicals to control harungana. For each herbicide, high volume foliar applicationcs of two concentrations were applied. Of the ten herbivides teted, mesulfuron methyl, dicamba, imazapyr and glyphosate produced 100% mortality, at the rates applied, and hte higher rate of fluroxypyr and 2,4-D/picloram killed greater than 95% of the treated plants. Metsulfuron and dicamba were the most target specific, while imazapyr, fluroxypyr, 2,4,-D/picloram and glyphosate had greater impact on non-target, native flora.
