Article Synopsis
- Tahitian bridal veil and small-leaf spiderwort are invasive species in Florida, with limited research on herbicide control methods.
- Four herbicides (triclopyr acid, triclopyr amine + 2,4-D amine, triclopyr amine, and glufosinate) were tested in a greenhouse to find effective treatments.
- Triclopyr (both acid and amine) showed the best results, achieving a 76% to 89% reduction in biomass, while the triclopyr + 2,4-D mix was notably less effective, reducing biomass by only 52% to 54%.
Weeds are a serious threat to crop production as they interfere with the crop growth and development and result in significant crop losses. Weeds actually cause yield loss higher than any other pest in crop production. As a result, synthetic herbicides have been widely used for weed management.

Although these practices have been widely established and tested to control weeds, there is no systematic or meta-analysis review to provide quantitative weed control efficacy information of these practices. To provide a systematic understanding of weed control practices in nursery production, a visualization research trend, a systematic review, and a meta-analysis were conducted.
