Paoc 15 of 23 <br />Dalmation toadflax <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />%ppendix l <br />Figurc 2: DALMATION TOADFLA\ [Liana dahnwLa (I_.) Hill. - Linw-ia genistifidia ssp. dabnathir <br />(1..) Maire & Petitmengin]. Noxious. This differs from vellow toadflax principally in being larger and <br />having differently shaped leaves. Clumps of stems are 3 to 4 feet tall. Waxy leaves are broad. ovate, <br />sometimes heart shaped and upper leaves clasp the stern (an important difference). Seeds are irregular in <br />shape, angular, somewhat flattened. thin-edged, strongly netted, tan-gray and 1 24 to I, 16 inch across. It is <br />not as common. but is more aggressive than yellow toadflax. It is reported in various parts ofthe state from <br />5,000 to 6.500 Icet. <br />All toadflax species are very difficult to control and management plans should integrate as many strategies <br />as possible to increase potential for success. Assess the condition and composition of the existing plant <br />community in an infested area then determine the approximate composition of the desired plant community, <br />needed to achieve land management goals and ohjectives. Create a management plan that combines various <br />control strategies to foster development of the desired plant community. <br />Chemical and Cultural Management of Dalmatian 'Foadflax <br />Dalmatian toadflax may be controlled with Tordon 22K at 2 lit ,A sprayed at flowering or in fall. In <br />Colorado, rates of 2, 4, and 8 pt. A of Tordon were compared and control longevity was greatest from the <br />pt rate, apparently because competition from crested whcatgrass watt maintained. Researchers in Wyoming <br />treated Dalmatian toadflax in early September. 1994, with Tordon at 2 pvA, then seeded the tollowint, year <br />in April or August with 'l lycrest' crested whcatgrass, 'Luna' pubescent wheatgrass, 'Critana' thickspike <br />\theatgrass, 'I3ozoisky' Russian wildrye, or 'Solar' strcambank wheats, s. The combination of spraying <br />and seeding competitive grasses controlled Dalmatian toadflax better than spraying alone -Hirec years after <br />treatments were started, control of Dalmatian toadflax ranged from 61 percent to 86 percent where grasses <br />were seeded in April and from 76 percent to 95 percent from the August seeding, compared to no control <br />tram spraying alone. <br />NLANACP NIE N I
