Invasive Management Terminology

Terminology

This document is currently in construction.
Cut Stump
Cut stump treatment is when an herbicide solution is applied directly to the cut portion of a stump "immediately after cutting down the plant. The herbicide kills the stump and prevents new growth that would normally occur after cutting alone." (Source: Alabama Cooperative Extension)
  • The herbicide can be applied to the cut portion of a stump with varying tools, brush, squirt sprayer, sponge applicator, etc. 
  • The herbicide used varies on the plant being treated. 

Additional resources to learn more
  1. Alabama Cooperative Extension
  2. Cut Stump Herbicide Treatments for Invasive Plant Control

Foliar Spray
Plants "up to 15 feet in height can be sprayed using handheld, backpack or tank applicators."
  • Spraying is most effective when plants are actively growing, but are not under severe stress from very hot weather or lack of moisture.
  • All sides of the plant should be sprayed; generally it is not necessary or desirable to spray plants to the point of saturation and dripping.
  • Take care to avoid spraying non-target plants and drift of spray from wind.
