Abstract
Roadside re-vegetation utilizing native groundcovers is a new initiative in Hawai‘i. To develop establishment and maintenance protocols, large-scale propagation and selective weed control techniques for potential species need to be tested. This study evaluated hydroplanting techniques and screened pre- and post-emergence herbicides for establishing Fimbristylis cymosa and Sporobolus virginicus. Hydroplanting trials indicate that F. cymosa can be efficiently established through hydroseeding while S. virginicus can he hydromulched using auxin treated apical cuttings. Oxadiazon and oryzalin can be safely used in transplanted F. cymosa plugs but not seedlings. Fluazifop-p-butyl and aminopyralid can be safely applied in plants > 28 days old while sulfosulfuron should only be spot sprayed. For S. virginicus, oxadiazon, oxyfluorfen, sulfosulfuron and aminopyralid can be used for transplanted plugs while carfentrazone + MCPA + mecoprop + dicamba and triclopyr should only he spot sprayed. Information gathered from the study has been incorporated into establishment protocols for the two species.
