Reproductive Ecology of Vallisneria americana Michaux (2007)

McFarland, Dwilette G.

Nearly 20 years have passed since Korschgen and Green's publication (1988) on the ecology of Vallisneria americana, as a guide for restoration programs. While their report provides a wealth of...

Aquatic Plant Control Research Program. Growth and Rooting Depth Characteristics of Hydrilla Verticillata (L.f.) Royle and Myriophyllum Spicatum L. on Fertilized and Unfertilized Sediments (2006)

McFarland, Dwilette G., Barko, John W.

In a series of controlled greenhouse experiments, growth and rooting depth characteristics of Hydrilla verticillata (L.f.) Royle and Myriophyllum spicatum L. were examined relative to sediment-N...

Competition Between Hydrilla verticillata and Vallisneria americana Under Different Environmental Conditions (2006)

Smart, R. M., Barko, John W., McFarland, Dwilette G.

The report describes results of a greenhouse investigation of short- term (8 weeks duration) competition between the beneficial native plant Vallisneria americana and the introduced, problem plant...

Environmental and Water Quality Operational Studies: Experimental Manipulations of Phytoplankton in Eau Galle Reservoir. (2002)

Barko,John W., Klemer,Andrew R., McFarland,Dwilette G., Hennington,M. S.

In an attempt to improve water quality, a variety of experiments was conducted over a 2-year period in large (10-m-diameter) enclosed water columns. Specific objectives of these experiments were to...

Interactive Influences of Selected Environmental Variables on Growth and Tuber Formation in Hydrilla. (1998)

McFarland, Dwilette G., Barko, John W.

In a 5-week greenhouse investigation, variations in the growth of both monecious and dieocious Hydrilla (Hydrilla verticilata (L. f.) Royle) were compared over a range of temperatures (12 to 32 C) on...

Effects of Alum Treatment on Phosphorus Dynamics and Phytoplankton Response in Eau Galle Reservoir, Wisconsin. (1998)

Barko, John W., James, William F., Taylor, William D., McFarland, Dwilette G.

The hypolimnion of Eau Galle Reservoir, Wisconsin, was treated with aluminum sulfate (alum) in 1986 to reduce excessive phytoplankton production associated with high phosphorus loading from anoxic,...

Effects of Sediment Nitrogen Availability and Plant Density on Interactions Between the Growth of Hydrilla Verticillata and Potamogeton Americanus. Aquatic Plant Control Research Program. (1998)

McCreary, Nancy J., McFarland, Dwilette G., Barko, John W.

This study examines the growth of Hydrilla verticillata (L.f) Royle and Potamogeton americanus C. and S. on both nitrogen-poor and nitrogen-rich sediments and assesses the nature and degree of...

Investigations of the Production, Transport, and Survival of Monoecious Hydrilla Propagules in the Tidal Potomac River. (1998)

McFarland, Dwilette G., Barko, John W.

The submersed aquatic vegetation (SAV) of the freshwater tidal Potomac River has a history of dramatic change in abundance and distribution. Following a four-decade absence in the tidal river...

Developing Methodologies to Assess the Influence of Nutritional and Physical Characteristics of Hydrilla verticillata on Its Biological Control Agents (1998)

Grodowitz, Michael J., McFarland, Dwilette G.

This technical note describes experimentation used to develop methods of culturing Hydrilla verticillata (L. f.) Royle (hydrilla) to obtain plants with consistent but wide-ranging nutritional and...

Impacts of Euhrychiopsis lecontei (Dietz) from Different Populations on the Growth and Nutrition of Eurasian Watermilfoil (1998)

Cofrancesco, Alfred F., McFarland, Dwilette G., Madsen, John D., Poovey, Angela G., Jones, Harvey L.

This technical note provides information on the potential effects of the native weevil Euhrychiopsis lecontei on growth of Eurasian watermilfoil. Weevil impacts are identified based on evaluations of...
