Extract

Cattails (Typha spp) are common and troublesome emergent aquatic weeds throughout the United States. They interfere with proper utilization and maintenance of irrigation and drainage canals. They further interfere with flow of water in channels where water velocity is low, and cause deposition of silt. In reservoirs, farm ponds, marshes, and lake margins, cattails waste large quantities of water, crowd out plants which produce food for wildlife and often interfere with fishing, boating, and other uses of these bodies of water.
