Methods for Managing Weeds in Wildlands
Weed Control User Tool (WeedCUT) -
https://weedcut.ipm.ucanr.edu/#gsc.tab=0
This decision support tool provides land managers with guidance on a range of methods for managing invasive plants in wildlands using non-chemical approaches exclusively, for situations when use of herbicides is restricted or not desired. The tool is intended to be developed further to include management practices including herbicides in the future. Explore all management practices below or enter the characteristics of your weed and your site to filter for the most effective practices. A manual containing all listed management techniques is available for free download. Biological control is currently not an outcome for the filtering tool but can be accessed directly through the thumbnail grid below. An Executive Summary provides summary information about using non-chemical methods at a programmatic level.

The Manual from CAL -IPC (California Invasive Plant Council), has many more details. This manual provides comprehensive descriptions of 21 commonly used non-chemical weed control techniques and of biological control agents for 18 weed species/species groups that will help you as a practitioner treat weeds more effectively.
Authors of each chapter have compiled research and on-the-ground knowledge of subject experts on tools and methods of application, as well as on efficacy of techniques under various environmental conditions and across different classes of invasive plants. Environmental, cultural, and human safety risks are also highlighted to help support safe and effective use of techniques. This manual is designed to be a go-to resource for practitioners that are either complementing their weed control work with non-chemical techniques or are exclusively restricted to not using herbicides. Individual BMPs will be incorporated into an online decision support tool still in development.
