hello bae (I take this for your name),
give me some time to answer seriously your well-grounded details, it's
just too unexpected reading golden rod has to be protected against
eurasian invaders, I must at first realize it and then I'll come back -
for the moment it's an interesting challenge to just find out the
statistical number of digged out stalks over regrowing ones to reduce
them gradually - cutting in any form and at any time does not prevent
regeneration in our modest climate -
concerning allelopathy I agree this phenomenon is rarely treated but I
promise you to dig out my files regarding this topic (for a quick
commentary it's to hard for me to translate it comprehensibly) -
just one try: "over the years golden rod establishes widespread clones
of vegetatively produced sprouts (rametes), which over a long time are
in relation one to another to exchange water and nutritive material"
(you got it?) -
and again a source in literatu Werner/Bradbury/Gross, the biology of
canadian weeds 45.solidago canadensis L. - Can. J. Plant Sci. 60, 1393 -
1409 - could you get a copy?
so much for today, meanwhile greetings from a beekeeper (among other)
