Prevention and Control
Prevention
Limit planting and remove existing plants within the landscape. If possible, removal should occur before the plant produces seeds. As fruits containing seeds remain on plants for several months, care should be taken not to spread fruits and seeds during the removal process (Center for Aquatic and Invasive Plants, 2013).
Public awareness
Humans are the primary mechanism for long-distance dispersal of A. crenata; therefore constraining transmission by human endeavour is the best way to restrict introduction and establishment of populations (Niu et al., 2012).
Control
Cultural control
Cultural management is difficult once the plant has become established, but good ground cover would limit seedling establishment (Center for Aquatic and Invasive Plants, 2013).
Mechanical control
For small or isolated infestations, hand-pulling of plants is effective for seedling control. Larger plants can be cut or burned, but re-growth from roots and root crowns needs monitoring for at least a year (Center for Aquatic and Invasive Plants, 2013). Roots are unable to re-sprout if they are severed from the root crown; therefore root crown removal is essential to prevent re-growth after mechanical control (Fox and Kitajima, 2001).
Biological control
There are no known biological control agents for Ardisia crenata. However, because invading populations are thought to have originated in China, potential sources of biological control might be found there, within its native range (Niu et al., 2012).
Chemical Control
Due to the variable regulations around (de-)registration of pesticides, we are for the moment not including any specific chemical control recommendations. For further information, we recommend you visit the following resources:
