Avoid broadcast spraying of herbicides and use care with spot spraying.
Because this plant is an annual, work may safely be conducted before the plants emerge or after they have developed mature seeds.
Avoid disturbance to shorelines and the forest-beach interface.
Prescribed burns and/or brushing may be beneficial, dependent on local site conditions and burn frequency. Rotational burns with annual unburned refugia may be preferred.
Maintain and restore open habitat through selective clearing and brushing.
Survey for and control invasive plants prior to conducting timber operations, as these can be spread by vehicles and often respond vigorously to increased light. See forestry BMPs for invasive species.
