Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2006103478A1] A method for controlling fallopia japonica, or Japanese Knotweed, involves the preliminary steps of identifying a target Japanese Knotweed, Giant Knotweed or hybrid plant (1 ) and characterising its growth phase (2) as either "growing" or "dormant". The environmental situation of the target plant is then assessed (13) and characterised as either "near trees" "near watercourse" or "clear". A herbicidal formulation appropriate to the characterised growth phase and environmental situation is then selected (17,18,19). Treatment of the target plant then involves both applying the herbicidal formulation to the plant (20,22) and stimulating the growth of the plant (21 ) so as to promote translocation of the applied herbicidal formulation throughout the target plant's rhizome system.
