Controlling Kudzu With Naturally Occurring Fungus
ScienceDaily (July 20, 2009) — Kudzu, "The Vine that Ate the South," could meet its match in a naturally occurring fungus that Agricultural Research Service (ARS) scientists have formulated as a biologically based herbicide. By one estimate, kudzu spreads at the rate of 150,000 acres annually, easily outpacing the use of herbicide spraying and mowing, as well increasing the costs of these controls by $6 million annually. But in Stoneville, Miss., ARS plant pathologist Doug Boyette and colleagues are testing a fungus named Myrothecium verrucaria, which infects kudzu with an astonishing speed of its own. In fact, the fungus works so quickly that kudzu plants sprayed with it in the morning start showing signs of damage by mid-afternoon, according to Boyette, with the ARS Southern Weed Science Research Unit in Stoneville.... http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/...90719185107.htm |

fypan fypan fypan fypan the knotweed was introduced by some idiot at the ebd of the war as he thought it looked pretty ...it may have been but WE dont have the natural preditors to keep it under control and now there is not a churchyard in the country that is safe from total coverage and it is not allowed to be dumped at ANY landfill site/ recycling composting centre/ disposal centre you cant burn it to kill it , you cant get the last roots up so you can spend a fortune and years digging the stuff up and you only have to leave a thread like piece behind and within a year you have a serious infestation again :::629:::
