In June, 2019, Oklahoma State University announced that it was beginning to treat Lake Carl Blackwell with a species-selective herbicide "ProcellaCOR SC" to control the spread of an invasive species of lily called "Yellow Floating Heart" (YFH). The plant is non-native, outproduces native plants and forms dense surface mats that reduce the ...
The Oklahoma Native Plant Society works with the Oklahoma Invasive Plant Council to educate the public about the harm caused by invasive plants in Oklahoma and to help control the spread of invasive plants in the state. [2]
However, some plants grow a little too well. “Invasive plants spread aggressively and cause environmental changes, such as the elimination of native plant populations,” says Justine Kandra ...
Now the dominant nitrogen-fixing plant in the eastern United States, kudzu fixes an estimated 235 kilograms per hectare (209 + 11 ⁄ 16 lb/acre) of nitrogen per year, which is an order of magnitude higher than the rates of native species. [6] This ability allows it to flourish in nitrogen-poor sites where other plants are unable to grow.
Here, a gardening expert outlines common invasive plants, what an invasive plant is, how to get rid of them, and the threats they pose to U.S. agriculture.

The economic impacts of invasive species can be difficult to estimate especially when an invasive species does not affect economically important native species. This is partly because of the difficulty in determining the non-use value of native habitats damaged by invasive species and incomplete knowledge of the effects of all of the invasive species present in the U.S. Estimates for the ...
