Dioscorea Treatment Help

Looking for some input on how to treat a vine called Dioscorea dodecaneura. There is little to no research done on treating the plant that I can find. We have tried various mixtures/strengths of glyphosate and triclopyr and nothing seems to affect it. We’d like to avoid imazapyr if at all possible because we have some really nice live oaks in the area.  


Any suggestions or ideas would be greatly appreciated!
