• Assessment of Alternative Technologies for Tamarisk Control, Biomass Reduction and Revegetation
   

  Prepared by the RiversEdge West (formerly Tamarisk Coalition) in 2008, this document addresses options for the control, biomass reduction, and revegetation management components. All currently available technologies have been evaluated; however, not all are applicable for a given river location. Tamarisk is the focus of this document’s control component because it is the principle non-native phreatophyte in western watersheds. In general, the following discussion applies to Russian olive and other invasive trees but may differ slightly for each (e.g., herbicide used).

   
• Attachment To Improve Tamarisk Removal

  This report describes the use of a skid-steer attachment called the Star Hill JAWZ for use in tamarisk extraction. 
• Sprayer Calibration Techniques

  This document, prepared by Weld County, discusses the appropriate way to calibrate a sprayer for herbicide application. Calibration is critical to ensure the correct amount of herbicide is applied; over application can injure desirable vegetation and under application can result in noxious weeds building up resistance to chemical over time. 
• Herbicide Mixture Rates for Spot Spraying & Backpack Sprayers

  This document provides herbicide mixture rates for a variety of common herbicides used for spot spraying and backpack sprayers. 
• Lessons Learned in Riparian Restoration
