Massive quantities of seed are produced and dispersed by wind. Has the ability to thrive in disturbed sites.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Control: <\/strong>Hand pulling is only effective for small isolated populations when root systems are removed and material is bagged and transported off site. Mowing and cutting need to be repeated to exhaust nutrient stores and are only effective on small populations. Herbicides approved for aquatic systems are most effective when applied using foliar spray techniques.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5><a href=\"http:\/\/crcwma.org\/index.php\/further-reading\/\">Further Reading<\/a><\/h5>\n<h5 style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/crcwma.org\/index.php\/further-reading\/#I\">Indiana Department of Natural Resources 2012<\/a><\/h5>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/crcwma.org\/index.php\/further-reading\/#K\">King County Department of Natural Resources and Parks. 2011<\/a><\/p>\n<h6>Photo Credits<\/h6>\n<ol>\n<li>Leslie J.
