Control Methods

Mechanical control by digging or pulling is only feasible where plants are isolated or young. Mowing of established invasions has little effect on plant survival, though it does not provide opportunities for increased germination or seedling establishment in preference to leaving the sward unmown. Mowing conducted in late summer does help exhaust any seed-bank and curtail seed production, so seed colonization of new areas can be much reduced.
