Abstract:

The search for alternative methods for controlling

and maintaining vegetation along roadsides has

just begun. This work was initiated to find

alternatives to the traditional methods for roadside

vegetation maintenance that includes the use of

registered synthetic herbicides and regular

mowing. The list of alternatives to the standard

roadside maintenance techniques is endless. In

this two and a half year study, the materials and

methods considered included bioherbicides, ultra

violet light, barriers/mats, cultivation,

mechanical/chemical combined, grazing, steam,

natural-based products and flaming. Additionally,

altered mow timings of yellow starthistle were

included in the range of studies, even though

mowing is a standard practice.
