Abstract:
Alligator weed is an exotic plant that is getting a chokehold on the state's waterways. It is harmless looking with a hollow stem and opposite dark green leaves. However, it provides a breeding place for mosquitoes, plugs ditches and creeks, impedes drainage and navigation, destroys wildlife habitat, and poses a threat to agriculture. Wilson discusses what is being done to control this invasive plant. The article includes a map locating the state's known alligator weed infestations.
