Ch 4 IVM Flashcards
technique that uses aerie photographs followed by ground checks to determine the nature of plant communities on a site.
cover-type mapping
at a program or project level, an accounting of all vegetation that could potentially affect management objectives, supplying a complete set of data upon which to base management decisions.
comprehensive evaluation
method of sampling a geographical area by selecting points in it, especially by choosing points at random on a map or aerial photograph
point sampling
a point at which the level of incompatible plant species, density, height, location, or condition threatens the stated management objectives and requires implementation of a control method (s).
action threshold
method of herbicide treatment involving herbicide application into cuts in the trunk. Also called hack And squirt
Frill treatment
type of biological control in which a plant community is converted from incompatible to compatible species using selective techniques that provide a competitive advantage to short-growing, early successional plants, al lowing them to thrive and successfully compete against unwanted tree species for sunlight, essential nutrients, and water.
Cover type conversion
control method that modifies habitat to discourage incompatible vegetation and establish and manage compatible plant
communities.
cultural control method
herbicides that are limited to the control of specific kinds of plants when applied according to the label (e.g., synthetic auxins, which are a class of selective herbicides that kill broadleaved plants, but do not harm grasses).
selective herbicides
herbicides that affect a broad range of plant species.
non-selective herbicides
adverse effects resulting from exposure to a single dose or exposure to multiple doses of a substance over a short time frame (usu-ally less than 24 hours).
acute toxicity
Uniquely botanical biochemical pathways disrupted by herbicides
Mode of action
handling and use of ready-to-use and diluted concentrate formulations in closed delivery systems.
closed chain of custody
Supply containers that are returned, refilled, and reused
Container cycle
Closed connections at the transfer points between supply containers mix tank, and application equipment
Integrity cycle
A container tracking system that establishes an auditable record documenting movement of herbicides and containers
Documentation cycle
Use of custom blends containing the required active ingredient and adjutants
Herbicide cycle
NERC
North American electric reliability corporation: ensure the reliability of the bulk power system.
Transmission vegetation management reliability standard for vm along Transmission lines
