Abstract: 
Harding grass is a species invasive to the Redwood National and State Parks. This project hopes to gain knowledge about the germination rate of harding grass seeds in response to glyphosate herbicide applied at various times throughout the northern California summer seaon. From combined field and lab tests, a more effective and efficent treatment strategy can be developed.
Problem Statement: 
A lack of information regarding the effects of phenology-based application of glyphosate herbicide on the germination rate of Harding grass (Phalaris aquatica) seeds.
