KUDZU: Where Did It Come From? and How Can We Stop It?
Abstract
Kudzu is spreading in the South and control measures are required on large acreages. Control can be accomplished by persistent applications of effective herbicides or by overgrazing for two to three years. Soil-active herbicides containing the active ingredients picloram or dicamba are presently most effective. Herbicide sprays should be applied in a mixture with 60 to 100 gallons of water per acre; complete coverage is best achieved with double application and right-angle spray passes when using ground equipment. Repeated applications are usually required to kill every root crown. The tender nature of kudzu leaves and the large tuber roots make kudzu difficult to control.

Kudzu control can be more difficult in older patches and along patch borders where roots are larger and more herbicide tolerant.
“Among the most effective herbicides for controlling kudzu are picloram and tebuthiuron (Miller 1985), although control can be more difficult in older patches and along patch borders where roots are larger and more herbicide tolerant (Miller and Edwards 1983).”

The semiwoody roots of a single kudzu plant can have diameters up to 30 cm and extend to depths of 3.7 m, accounting for up to 40% of total plant biomass and providing carbohydrate storage for recovery after disturbance.
“T he semiwoody roots of a single plant can have diameters of up to 30 cm and extend to depths of 3.7 m (M iller 1988;M iller and Edwards 1983), accounting for up to 40% of total plant biomass (Fujita et al. 1993) and providing considerable carbohydrate storage for recovery after disturbance.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
