Abstract Callery pear (Pyrus calleryana Decne.) is rapidly spreading in the United States, gaining attention in the last two decades as a serious invasive pest. Recommended control methods include foliar, basal bark, cut stump, and hack-and-squirt application of herbicides, but there are few published studies with replicated data on efficacy. Four readily available herbicidal active ingredients and a combination of two active ingredients were tested for control efficacy against P. calleryana in old-field areas and loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) understory. Basal bark applications (triclopyr, triclopyr + aminopyralid), foliar applications (glyphosate, imazapyr), and a soil application (hexazinone) effectively killed P. calleryana with the exception of hexazinone at one site, where rainfall may not have been optimal. Foliar application of glyphosate provided the most consistent control. Our results demonstrate efficacy of registered herbicide formulations for P. calleryana control in two geographic locations and two habitat types. The need for development of integrated pest management programs for P. calleryana is discussed.

Pesquisou-se o enraizamento de estacas lenhosas dos porta-enxertos de pereira: Taiwan Nashi-C (Pyrus calleryana Decaisne), D'água (P. communis L) e Manshu Mamenashi (P. betulaefolia Bunge), na ausência de reguladores de crescimento. As estacas lenhosas, medindo 20 cm de comprimento e contendo de 3 a 4 gemas, foram submetidas aos tratamentos com e sem incisão na parte basal e mantidas por 60 dias em ambiente de nebulização intermitente. As estacas de 'Taiwan Nashi-C' e 'D'água' apresentaram 53,8 e 51,8 % de enraizamento, respectivamente, nos tratamentos com e sem incisão. Em estacas de 'Manshu Mamenashi', verificaram-se excesso de brotações foliares e índice de enraizamento quase nulo. O método de incisão na base das estacas influenciou significativamente no enraizamento do porta-enxerto 'D'água'.

Abstract Four experiments were conducted to investigate herbicides currently labeled for field and/or container production for use in pot-in-pot production. Southern magnolia (Magnolia grandiflora L.), red maple (Acer rubrum Spach. ‘Autumn Flame’ and ‘Franksred’), ornamental pear (Pyrus calleryana Decne. ‘Bradford’ and ‘Cleveland Select’), river birch (Betula nigra L.), green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica Marsh. and F. pennsylvanica Marsh.‘Marshall's Seedless’), and zelkova (Zelkova serrata Spach ‘Village Green’) were evaluated for herbicide tolerance. Barricade 65WG, Surflan 4AS, and Pendulum 60WDG, used alone or in combination with Princep and Gallery 75 DF, had no adverse effect on tree shoot growth or trunk caliper growth when applied as a directed band application. Weed control varied depending upon local site conditions, herbicide rate and weed species.
