Skunk Vine (Paederia foetida) Control: Persistence and Herbicide

Skunk vine smothers landscape plants in South Georgia. Glyphosate kills it but also harms desirable plants underneath. For small infestations, cut stems at ground and paint stump with glyphosate. For large areas, weekly spot-spraying is the only current option. Natural enemies are being researched.
