TAME Melaleuca
The Areawide Management Evaluation of Melaleuca quinquenervia (TAME Melaleuca) was recently established as a collaborative multi-agency project under the USDA Agricultural Research Service's Area-wide Pest Management Initiative.
TAME's goal
Our goal is to demonstrate the effectiveness of an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach for controlling melaleuca in the United States and beyond. Demonstration sites will display the combined effectiveness of multiple control tactics that IPM offers. Land managers and property owners will have an opportunity to adapt from these sites and apply it to their own melaleuca problems.
We seek to develop a sustainable and integrated melaleuca control program through partnerships with public agencies and private land managers for the long-term control of the invasive species.
