[QUOTE="MrBilly, post: 99345, member: 87"] Here is what the U of Fla recommends on their Soda Apple website:http://tsa.ifas.ufl.edu/control_dense.htm I think Grazon works also, but they are recommending Remedy. Billy Controlling Dense Infestations of Tropical Soda Apple (aka - Solanum Viarum) Dense Infestations Pastures with dense stands of TSA (areas where it is not practical to spray individual plants) should be mowed to a 3 inch stubble height as soon as possible to keep plants from producing fruit. Repeat mowing when plants reach the flowering stage (every 50-60 days) through April. Fifty to 60 days after the April mowing, when plant regrowth is at the first flower stage (late May-June), spray the following herbicide: SINGLE APPLICATION: 1. Remedy® at 1.0 quart/acre (1 lb/acre) + 0.10%-0.25% non ionic surfactant in 40 GPA. Follow-up the broadcast application with spot treatments (see below) for control of escape plants and new plants from seed. Check pastures monthly for 1-2 years (except during the summer) and spray all new TSA seedling plants. Do not allow plants to produce fruit!! Research results indicate a single application of Remedy® at 1.0 quart will result in 90-95% control. Furthermore, limited control of TSA will occur from mowing alone. A single mowing will provide 15% control, 2 mowings will give 50-60% control and 3 mowings will result in 80% control. However, mowing alone will not result in 100% control. General Control Sparse Infestations They list researchers on the site you could speak with. [/QUOTE]
