Welcome to the TAME Melaleuca Project!
"Working together to provide a long-term solution for melaleuca in Florida"
T.A.M.E. Melaleuca! The Areawide Management and Evaluation of Melaleuca is an areawide pest management program designed to promote long-term, biologically-based management for the invasive melaleuca problem in southern Florida. Through partnerships with public agencies and private land managers, our goal is to demonstrate the effectiveness of an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach for controlling melaleuca in the United States and beyond.
TAME demonstration sites throughout South Florida showcase the combined effectiveness of multiple control tactics that IPM offers, with special emphasis on the use of biological control. Using demonstration site tours and other educational outreach activities, TAME Melaleuca provides land managers and property owners the information needed to apply these tactics to their own melaleuca infestations.
