Optimising physiochemical control of invasive Japanese knotweed

@KyleMorgenstein You know you're in the fight of your life with an invasive plant species when you're reading academic journal papers on how to control it. https://t.co/rctW3seT9E

@swansearesearch @eastwood_dan @CWCWales In context, most comprehensive (in terms of control treatments +20 tested to date) and longest running invasive plant control trial ever conducted worldwide (to my knowledge). 11 years, 40,000+ downloads of the Knot

@UConnExtension Please consider some of the hard learned lassons from over the pond where Japanese knotweed is now well established. Physical methods are not a good option and increase the spread of the plant. https://t.co/MvSlAHaRVo https://t.co/BSLLWrvl

…similarly to the approach that we developed for Japanese Knotweed https://t.co/vau613uLHT

@JanPergl @lameyerson Glyphosate works pretty well! https://t.co/vau613uLHT

"dispersal" is a very passive, misleading word here. Japanese knotweed is often spread by attempted physical control methods (digging, cutting). Physical control doesn't work, though! More likely to cause problems for others than get rid of your knotweed!

@AlysFowler Hi Alys, RE eating Japanese knotweed. We recently published a journal article on knotweed control (https://t.co/A2ev5kaZNE). In short, cutting won’t control it and it can be toxic to eat, as it builds up heavy metals and could have been treated

It is an interesting, dare I say important, piece of research. It does not claim to have solved the problem. It does point to the misuse of the word eradication, something we all reputable invasive contractors can understand. More work to be done. https://
