Introduction
Alligator weed (Alternanthera philoxeroides (Mart.) Griseb.) is a widespread weed that is difficult to control. Despite many published accounts relating to its control there is no published review on herbicide control of alligator weed. This paper describes the biology and impacts of alligator weed and the efficacy of herbicides and herbicide-based control programs used against it.
