Comments on Management:
In a glade environment, habitat heterogeneity is important to the long-term persistence of this species *008*. Burning is especially beneficial if done in August *06*. Adverse: invasion of non-native, cool-season grasses *04* and exotic plants (downy brome, musk thistle) which crowd out bladderpod *02,03*. Right-of-way maintenence *04* and use of herbicides along roadsides *03*, digging by wildflower collectors *03*, conversion of habitats to agriculture, destruction of glade habitats and cedar invasion are also threats *05*. In MO, increased trampling of plants resulted in decreased survival, but had no significant effect on the number of flowering stems, buds or pods of surviving plants *007*.
