Prevention and Control
Prevention
SPS Measures
In the Miami-Dade county of Florida, planting of F. indica is prohibited (Hunsberger, 2001).
Control
Physical/Mechanical Control
F. indica is difficult to hand weed because of its tenacious roots from which it readily sprouts (Keuffer and Mauremootoo, 2004). Similarly, mechanical control can be hampered by the thorniness of the plants.
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/)
