Why Use Mechanical harvesting for invasive species control?

Selective control

No water use restrictions

Removes plant mass

Specific areas of waterways can be treated through mechanical harvesting.

Removes plant mass

No water use restrictions

Removes plant mass

Removal of plant biomass prevents oxygen depletion when plants decay in the water which preserves water quality for wildlife.

No water use restrictions

No water use restrictions

No water use restrictions

Mechanical removal ensures that waterways are treated in an ecofriendly way that does not create temporary restrictions on water use during or after plant removal.

Alternative to herbicides
