Help with Phragmites control and destruction?
 
I am looking for information on the control of the dreaded PHRAGMITES.  As a
prairie and wetland steward at our local county parks in Northwest Indiana, I
am looking for information that will assist in the removal of phragmites, an
invasive, alien species plant.  Please give me information about books,
articles and studies concerning effective control.  Please send me E-Mail to -
[email-masked]
 
Thanks,
Donna Gonzalez

there are interested in this problem.  Thanks.

While working on a sanctuary in Mass. the only hopeful refrence I found 
involved covering the site with thick black plastic untill the sun burned the 
stuff dead.  Sorry, I no longer have the referance with me.  This would be 
effective if your problem is small.  The other accepted management concern I 
found was that vigor was increased by cutting or burning, supposedly because 
of an increased supply of oxygen to the roots through the hollow stems.
