Phragmites

Phragmites is an invasive weed that can take over a wetland and crowd out native species. DNREC's Division of Fish & Wildlife is responsible for controlling the nuisance on state lands and for managing a landowner cost-share program. The Division spends August through October spraying for phragmites and then burns the remains in the spring.

What is the name of the herbicide?

[@delawarednrec]

Mike, the herbicides used are glyphosate based, EPA registered and applied according to EPA label instructions.

@@delawarednrec Glyphosate is the active chemical in Roundup etc. What really matters is the % of glyphosate in the chemical you use. Your chemical must be aquatic approved for most phragmites situations due to water. If your feet are wet you must use an aquatic approved chemical. Burning does not do anything to Phrag, but it removes dead stems and duff to allow another treatment.
