EVALUATING THE CURRENT WEED COMMUNITY IN WILD BLUEBERRY FIELDS AND IPM STRATEGIES FOR SPREADING DOGBANE (Apocynum androsaemifolium) By Anthony Ayers B.A. SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry, 2012 A THESIS Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science (in Plant, Soil and Environmental Sciences) The Graduate School The University of Maine December 2020 Advisory Committee: Lily Calderwood, Extension Wild Blueberry Specialist and Assistant Professor of Horticulture, Advisor Eric Gallandt, Professor of Weed Ecology Seanna Annis, Associate Professor of Mycology EVALUATING THE CURRENT WEED COMMUNITY IN WILD BLUEBERRY FIELDS AND IPM STRATEGIES FOR SPREADING DOGBANE (Apocynum androsaemifolium) By Anthony Ayers Thesis Advisor: Dr. Lily Calderwood An Abstract of the Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science (in Plant, Soil and Environmental Sciences) December 2020 Lowbush blueberry (Vaccinium angustifolium) is Maine’s third largest-yielding crop (USDA 2020 a). From 2017 – 2019 the three season average yield was 57 million pounds which was harvested from 19,500 acres for a value of $22,468,000 (USDA 2020 c). A common challenge for farmers is the presence of weeds within their fields. Weeds take up valuable water, shade, nutrients and space that would otherwise be utilized by the lowbush blueberry. Weeds can reduce yield, increase disease incidence and interfere with harvest operations. Up to 84% of yield can be lost because of weed cover (Yarborough 2009; Yarborough and Mara 1997). There has not been a weed survey of lowbush blueberry fields in the state of Maine since 1980 (Yarborough and Bhowmik, 1989). We surveyed twenty fields in the field seasons of 2019-2020. Survey methods were similar to McCully et al. (1991) and used the Daubenmire Cover Rating System to measure surface area (Daubenmire 1959). Additionally, we interviewed farmers to learn how they have been managing weeds and to learn how they perceive their weeds. We ranked weeds by their frequency and surface area for both organic and conventional fields, allowing us to compare notable weeds and trends between the two systems. Our survey found more species and genera of weeds present in fields than Yarborough and Bhowmik (1989). Interview results showed that most farmers were able to correctly estimate the severity of weed coverage in their fields. The most frequent method of weed control was mowing, followed by string trimmer mowing. One of the most difficult weeds to manage within wild blueberry fields is spreading dogbane (Apocynum androsaemifolium). It resists at least six common herbicides (NBDAAF 2017) and can form dense patches through its rhizomes (Niering et al. 2001). Yarborough and Marra (1997) found that if left untreated, spreading dogbane patches reduced yield by 74%. Because of its resilient nature and negative effects on yield, research on spreading dogbane management is a priority. One facet of weed management is the use of biocontrol. While weeds in other agricultural systems have been managed through the use of pathogenic fungi, no research has been published on the use of fungi to manage spreading dogbane. The periodic mowing of woody weeds throughout the growing season has been found to significantly reduce patches of willow (Salix spp.) and white birch (Betula papyrifera Marshall). We considered if the same cutting strategy could show similar success on dogbane patches. In the summer of 2019, dogbane leaves with leaf spots were collected, and the fungi on these leaf spots were grown on potato dextrose agar. Spores were identified to genus using Malloch (1981). To measure the effectiveness of string trimmer mowing, sixteen patches of dogbane were mowed at different frequencies. Stem height, patch area, and number of stems per patches were collected before each cutting event. Two genera of fungi were found from the leaf spots: Ulocladium and Alternaria. Mowed patches of dogbane grew wider and had more stems than those that were not mowed. DEDICATION I’d like to dedicate this thesis to everyone that believed in me.

  • "National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1996 National Summary."
    Intro 1996 National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands The Fish and Wildlife Service has prepared a National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1996 National Summary (1996 National List). The 1996 National List is a draft revision of the National List of Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1988 National Summary (Reed 1988) (1988 National List). The 1996 National List is provided to encourage additional public review and comments on the draft regional wetland indicator assignments. The 1996 National List reflects a significant amount of new information that has become available since 1988 on the wetland affinity of vascular plants. This new information has resulted from the extensive use of the 1988 National List in the field by individuals involved in wetland and other resource inventories, wetland identification and delineation, and wetland research. Interim Regional Interagency Review Panel (Regional Panel) changes in indicator status as well as additions and deletions to the 1988 National List were documented in Regional supplements. The National List was originally developed as an appendix to the Classification of Wetlands and Deepwater Habitats of the United States (Cowardin et al.1979) to aid in the consistent application of this classification system for wetlands in the field.. The 1996 National List also was developed to aid in determining the presence of hydrophytic vegetation in the Clean Water Act Section 404 wetland regulatory program and in the implementation of the swampbuster provisions of the Food Security Act. While not required by law or regulation, the Fish and Wildlife Service is making the 1996 National List available for review and comment.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service initially developed the list in order to provide an appendix to the Classification of Wetlands and Deepwater Habitats of the United States (FWS/OBS 79/31) to assist in the field identification of wetlands. Plant species that occur in wetlands, as used in the National List, are defined as species that have demonstrated an ability to achieve maturity and reproduce in an environment where all or portions of the soil within the root zone become, periodically or continuously, saturated or inundated during the growing season.
