Prevention and Control
Physical/Mechanical Control
Seedlings are readily controlled by hoeing. Established plants have a deep root system but do not regenerate from below ground so may be controlled by suitable cultivation.
Biological Control
No known attempts have been made at biological control.
Chemical Control
Due to the variable regulations around (de-)registration of pesticides, we are for the moment not including any specific chemical control recommendations. For further information, we recommend you visit the following resources:
•
EU pesticides database (http://ec.europa.eu/food/plant/pesticides/eu-pesticides-database/)
