Resumo(s)
Clethra arborea Aiton (Clethraceae) is a tree endemic to Madeira island and naturalised in São Miguel island (Azores). Pittosporum undulatum Ventenat (Pittosporaceae) is a tree from Australia which invaders all the Azorean islands. Several chemical formulations were tested against these invaders by cutting the trunk and applying herbicide, namely triclopyr, imazapyr and glyphosate, at several rates. For P. undulatum imazapyr was the most promising herbicide. For C. arborea good results were obtained at low rates, specially with triclopyr, which stimulated microbial growth and stump rotting. After two years, seedlings of several species were found around the treated stumps. Uprooting of saplings might complement a general control strategy.
