2002 Trials Pictures and Results

Herbicide trials were performed in the summer of 2000, and again in 2002 to determine the efficacy of different kinds and concentrations of herbicides on treating salvinia in the PVID outfall drain. Water quality parameters have been shown to differ from other areas within the US where salvinia is being treated, requiring these tests to optimize treatment.
