Experimental study on treatment of Spartina alterniflora in Fujian
The invasive plant,Spartina alterniflora,has spread out over the tidal flats in Fujian province,which has restricted the sustainable development of coastal economy,society and environment.In view of this situation,the diluent of "eliminating and controlling S.alterniflora in the tidal flats" was used to squirt the stem and leaf of S.alterniflora,and the following conditions can be found.Its stems and leaves change from green to yellowish after 15 days,and wither gradually after 30 days.The roots start to rot off after 60 days,and being destroyed completely after 180 days.After detection,the diluent has the characteristics of low toxicity and high solubility.In addition,the residual can not be detected in the seawater,deposits and selfish bodies.In a word,the way of "eliminating and controlling S.alterniflora in tidal flats" in treating S.alterniflora is environmentally safe,simple,fast and thorough.
