Gardner, D. E. 1980. An evaluation of herbicidal methods of strawberry guava control in Kipahulu Valley. C. W. Smith, (ed.). Resources Base Inventory of Kipahulu Valley Below 2,000 Feet. The Nature Conservancy, Maui. 63-69
ABSTRACT
To assess possible cost effective and practical control approaches for strawberry guava in Hawaiian National Park Service areas, various herbicides and treatment methods were tested on this species in the 1ower Kipahulu Valley adjacent to Haleakala National Park. Basal stem treatment with Roundup provided the most promising results; however, none of the approaches tested appeared completely satisfactory for widespread control in a native forest situation. Results suggest that alternative methods, such as biological control, should be investigated if successful limitations for this aggressive non-native plant species are to be found.
