Carrizo Cane should be cleanly cut at the 3-foot height to stimulate and enhance the effect of the predatory insect species and encourage branching which will minimize the height for regrowth and give greater access to the control insects. The tops, which still contain insect larvae, are to be left in place to encourage newly developed insects to further attack and degrade the Carrizo

Cane stands.

1.4 Place of Performance

Place of performance is along the Rio Grande

River border between the United States and Mexico that is the Permanent Quarantine Zone (PQZ) from

Brownsville, TX southeast Texas., to Del Rio. TX in the northwest. Several areas have been identified in this area for carrizo cane topping.

The place of performance will encompass approximately 167 river miles of Carrizo Cane

(see page 12). See Figure 1 Map below that identifies the PQZ and the Texas counties involved.
