Which control method listed in the table presents the highest risk of failure due to long-term regrowth if the treatment is not maintained?
Answer
Repeated Cutting
Repeated cutting without chemical intervention results in a very long time to root kill and a high persistence risk because the stored energy in the roots continuously drives new sprouting.
