Submission: August 06, 2019; Published: August 22, 2019

Abstract

Autumn Olive is classified as an invasive species in North America. In order to prevent propagation through fruiting, chlorflurenol is proposed to control Autumn Olive berry set. Maintain CF 125 is a formulation of chlorflurenol that is recommended for use as a foliar spray at the time of bud break. The fruit is eliminated with an application of 0.5lb of chlorflurenol diluted with 100 gallons of water. This approach allows the users to enjoy the benefits of the shrub while controlling its invasive characteristics.
