Great Lakes Science Center Research on Bioherbicides for Invasive Plants is a cooperative agreement from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) that funds research on the development of environmentally friendly bioherbicides and strategies to control invasive Phragmites australis and other invasive plant species. The project explores the role of microbial endophytes in enhancing the growth and stress tolerance of invasive Phragmites and uses that information to develop low-toxicity bioherbicide treatments offering resource managers more options. Funding ranges from 1 dollar to 498,392 dollars, with a deadline of May 22, 2026. Eligible applicants include nonprofits, universities, and state and local governments. The research builds on prior USGS investments that have already produced promising technologies supported by patent applications and commercial licenses, with additional field testing and development work still needed.
