Chemical Management – Foliar
• Foliar spray over seedlings, re-sprouts, and small vines
• Recommendation to apply between July and October
• Triclopyr (1-2% solution) or Glyphosate (2-3% solution) with surfactant at 0.25% v/v
![Page 10: Management of Cat’s Claw Vine (Dolichandra unguis-cati) in ... › aw19 › presentations...MANAGEMENT OF CAT’S CLAW VINE (DOLICHANDRA UNGUIS-CATI) IN FLORIDA Leah Aidif*, Greg](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081404/5f0423ea7e708231d40c82d7/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Chemical Management –Cut Stump
• 100% solution of glyphosate or triclopyr
• Cut stem horizontally near ground level
• Cover the entire cut stem (marker dye is helpful)
![Page 11: Management of Cat’s Claw Vine (Dolichandra unguis-cati) in ... › aw19 › presentations...MANAGEMENT OF CAT’S CLAW VINE (DOLICHANDRA UNGUIS-CATI) IN FLORIDA Leah Aidif*, Greg](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081404/5f0423ea7e708231d40c82d7/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Chemical Management – Basal
• Triclopyr solution applied with basal oil
• Apply 12 to 15 inches above the ground on climbing vine
• Wet thoroughly for adequate control
![Page 12: Management of Cat’s Claw Vine (Dolichandra unguis-cati) in ... › aw19 › presentations...MANAGEMENT OF CAT’S CLAW VINE (DOLICHANDRA UNGUIS-CATI) IN FLORIDA Leah Aidif*, Greg](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081404/5f0423ea7e708231d40c82d7/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Mechanical Management
• Hand pulling seedlings, include all roots and tubers attached
• Cut vine down to ground level
• Mowing is effective but must be repeated
![Page 13: Management of Cat’s Claw Vine (Dolichandra unguis-cati) in ... › aw19 › presentations...MANAGEMENT OF CAT’S CLAW VINE (DOLICHANDRA UNGUIS-CATI) IN FLORIDA Leah Aidif*, Greg](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081404/5f0423ea7e708231d40c82d7/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Biological Management
• Currently no known biological control agents for cat’s claw vine in Florida
• In South Africa, research is being conducted on a leaf-tying moth (Hypocosmia pyrochroma) (King, Williams, and Madire2011)
• In Brazil, research is being conducted for fungal pathogens as potential agents (de Silva, Barreto, ad Pereira 2012)

Results & Discussion
• Aminocyclophyrachlor, glyphosate, aminopyralid, imazapic, and triclopyr(both formulations) provided some control
• Imazapyr showed minimal control, possibly due to low rates used
• MSM and 2,4-D were not successful

• Method basal – 50 ml per tree• Remedy-Ultra basal – 62 ml per tree
• Helps stay within labeled use rates
• Paint roller more precise

Future Research
• Repeat herbicide trial
• Seed and tuber biology
• Combining mechanical and chemical control
• Focus on application timing
• Repeated applications
