The herbicides recommended in this manual are general use herbicides with the exceptions of Tordon 101 Mixture and Tordon K for kudzu treatment. Pesticide application certification is governed by state laws and therefore varies by state. For safety reasons, it is a good idea for persons who will be dealing with even general use herbicides to get pesticide certification, whether required by law or not. In Missouri, certification and recertification classes are taught by the Missouri Department of Agriculture. It is hoped that this document will be a useful resource for land managers in controlling aggressive exotic and native plant species.
Comments are welcome on the recommendations presented here.
