Title:Invasive plant found in SGF water source
Publisher:Ozarks First
Comments"There is a stream from a private lake that had hydrilla that is the probable source of tubers... We know tubers are moved along with sediment when flooding occurs. We treated a 5 acre area in that portion of the wetland after the hydrilla was found. We also pulled 100 cores looking for tubers."
