Slide 2
Why wildflower management? High value crop with very specific
management - $40-250 per lb, depending on species Importance of
ecological diversity - Seed mixes typically grasses - Open niche -
Ecological services of diversity
Slide 3
High demand for restoration and seed production National Parks
and severely disturbed sites
Objectives Compare effects of pre- and post-emergence
herbicides on wildflower seedling establishment, injury, and seed
production Evaluate effects of each herbicide on weed control
Assess the economics of weed management
