Prevention and Control
Physical/Mechanical Control
Seedlings and small sprouts of P. canariensis can be hand-picked or dug out carefully, keeping soil disturbance to a minimum. Cuttings must be properly disposed of in order to prevent these sprouting into new plants (Tennessee Invasive Plant Council, 2022).
Chemical Control
Due to the variable regulations around (de-)registration of pesticides, we are for the moment not including any specific chemical control recommendations. For further information, we recommend you visit the following resources:
