Identification -- Submerged
Plants |
| Plants that are generally
rooted at the bottom and are completely under water are
in this category. Submerged weeds are usually flaccid*
and lack rigid cellular tissue. Flowers, if present, may
extend above the water surface. *Flaccid:
lax and weak, without rigidity. |

| Attention: Recommendation
Factors Many factors have been considered in our
recommendations such as effectiveness, toxicity,
environmental impact, ease of application and economics.
Alternative control methods may be necessary due to
water use restrictions. Plant distribution within the
U.S. is shown on shaded maps accompanying weed pictures.
Most of these plants, or closely related species, are
found worldwide. |
