Miller, I.L. | Pickering, S.E. (Northern Territory Dept. of Industries and Development, Berrimah (Australia))
The weed was found in the upper reaches of the river in 1977; a successful 10-year eradication programme is described. Herbicides used were paraquat, diquat, 2,4-D and AF101. Nets were erected to prevent downstream movement, and surveys made to locate small infestations, which were removed by hand. The last sighting was in 1982, but monitoring continued until 1986.
