Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the history and impact of the water hyacinth, an invasive aquatic plant native to the Amazon basin of South America. Introduced to Florida in the 1890s, this species has become a major concern for boaters, fishermen, and environmentalists alike. The author, a botanist from the US Department of Agriculture, documents the plant's rapid spread throughout the St. Johns River system, its effects on local industries and ecosystems, and the challenges faced in controlling its growth. The book delves into the complexities of eradicating this invasive plant, considering both mechanical and biological methods and discussing the potential for harnessing the plant's natural enemies to curb its spread. Thoroughly researched and engagingly written, this volume offers valuable insights into the pressing problem of invasive species and the search for sustainable solutions.
