Distinguishing invaders from native plants
Researchers have developed a tool that can distinguish specimens of common reed reliably in the field, without time-consuming and costly genetic testing.

Organically produced sweetpotato crops can be significantly more profitable than those grown in conventional production systems. But it’s not all smooth sailing. Growers know it can be tough to manage weed infestations in the absence of synthetic herbicides.
Buffelgrass is a highly invasive perennial that reduces the biodiversity of native ecosystems and provides ready fuel for wildfires in the arid regions where it thrives. After examining a decade of data from Arizona’s Saguaro National Park, researchers writing in the journal Invasive Plant Science and Management describe best practices for buffelgrass control.
Black swallowwort is a difficult to control invasive vine that thrives in natural areas and perennial cropping systems in northeastern North America. To date, though, little is known about how the weed responds to mowing or to various herbicidal controls.
