Garlic mustard (Alliaria petiolata) early detection monitoring at Homestead National Monument of America

Short MF, Young CC, Bolli JM, Gross CS. 2010. Garlic mustard (Alliaria petiolata) early detection monitoring at Homestead National Monument of America. Natural Resource Data Series. NPS/HTLN/NRDS—2010/259. National Park Service, Natural Resource Program Center. Fort Collins, Colorado

In the spring of 2010 a search for garlic mustard (Alliaria petiolata) was conducted at Homestead National Monument. Garlic mustard occurs throughout eastern and south-central Nebraska, including Gage County where the park is located. On April 26, 2010, a small amount of garlic mustard was found at the monument and hand-pulled. Our comprehensive search of all woodland habitat in the park a few days later found no garlic mustard. We hope that early detection and removal efforts have eradicated garlic mustard from the park.
