Abstract
Vinca major is an invasive vine that threatens the native biodiversity of Aravaipa Canyon, Arizona. Herbicide is the primary method for eradication efforts, but there is a need for scientific guidance on how to improve both efficiency and efficacy of application. This work examines the impact of environmental factors at the time of herbicide application, and finds that time of year is the most important factor of successful die‐off, more so than temperature or precipitation. Herbicide application in late winter or early spring is recommended to maximize V. major die‐off while minimizing costs and incidental impact on the environment.
