36 INVASIVE AQUATIC WEEDS IN NORTH CAROLINA. R.J. Richardson, A.P. Gardner, S.T. Hoyle, and A.M. West, North Carolina State Univ., Raleigh, NC. ABSTRACT Several invasive aquatic weeds have become established in North Carolina. Notable species include hydrilla (Hydrilla verticillata (L.f.) Royle), Brazilian elodea (Egeria densa Planch.), Eurasian watermilfoil (Myriophyllum spicatum L.), brittle naiad (Najas minor All.), parrot feather (Myriophyllum aquaticum (Vell.) Verdc.), water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes (Mart.) Solms), water lettuce (Pistia stratiotes L.), giant salvinia (Salvinia molesta Mitchell), alligatorweed (Alternanthera philoxeroides (Mart.) Griseb.), and creeping water primrose ([Ludwigia grandiflora (M. Micheli) Greuter & Burdet). Hydrilla may be found in most piedmont counties, but is sporadic in tidewater and mountain counties. Approximately 4,000 acres of Hydrilla can be found in Lake Gaston alone. Brazilian elodea is distributed intermittently throughout the entire state. Eurasian watermilfoil can be found in Lake Gaston (VA and NC) and down the Roanoke River and adjacent counties to the Albemarle Sound. Brittle naiad is infrequently distributed among at least 13 counties. Parrot feather is widely distributed throughout much of the state. Water hyacinth is currently in 10 counties, mainly in southeastern North Carolina. Giant salvinia and water lettuce are limited to the Wilmington area and current infestations of both weeds are not believed to be more than 10 acres. Alligatorweed is widely distributed throughout eastern North Carolina and may be found sporadically in the piedmont. 18
37 WEED PROPAGATION TECHNIQUES FOR USE IN DISCOVERING NEW HERBICIDES FOR TURF. M.S. Casini, L.F. Houck, G.R. Armel, and P.L. Rardon, DuPont Crop Protection, Newark, DE. ABSTRACT Plant propagation techniques were investigated at the DuPont Stine-Haskell Research Center in Newark, DE over the past several years to establish a means for optimizing targeted plant species growth for herbicide screening on key turfgrass weed species. Highly reproducible propagation techniques for difficult to grow species have been integrated into our screening methods in an effort to enhance the quality of data generated via whole plant testing. Such methods aid in the elimination of plant growth variability, making it easier for the evaluating biologist to discern true differences in plant responses. Propagation techniques employed include seed soaks, chemical scarification and vegetative reproduction. Target species investigated included: wild violet (Viola papilionacea Pursh p.p.), wild garlic (Allium vineale L.), buckhorn plantain (Plantago lanceolata L.), ivyleaf speedwell (Veronica hederifolia L.), dollarweed (Hydrocotyle umbellata L.), torpedo grass (Panicum repens L.) and green kyllinga (Kyllinga brevifolia Rottb). 19
