Invasive Plants of The South

This App provides users the capabilities for combating the invasion of the major non-native plants taking over their lands. That includes yard landscapes, city parks, suburban and rural home grounds, hunting leases, farms and ranches. River and stream banks are particularly vulnerable as invasive plant pathways since water is a main way their seeds spread and it is favorable habitat for establishment.

Invasions by plants in the South is increasing by 9 percent per year. Is one of those problems facing humans everywhere. But where we face it is on lands we use and enjoy ourselves and will leave to the next generations. It is a problem that we can tackle individually and as communities, neighbors, States and corporate landowners.

As authors of the books we are grateful to Chuck Bargeron and the UGA Invasive Center team for constructing this highly useful and portable tool. The capability to zoom in on the plant images gives you details not possible in the print copies. And concise methods for eliminating these plants are at your fingertips. A truly ideal step in ease of use for you. We all have worked to provide you with the latest knowledge and ways to stop the plant invasions on your lands and those that you enjoy. Updates are being formalized now.
Be Safe, Jame (Jim) H Miller
