FIRE EFFECTS
SPECIES: Pueraria lobata | Kudzu
IMMEDIATE FIRE EFFECT ON PLANT :
Most fires top-kill kudzu; the root crown and roots generally survive [15].
DISCUSSION AND QUALIFICATION OF FIRE EFFECT :
NO-ENTRY
PLANT RESPONSE TO FIRE :
Kudzu sprouts from the surviving root crown, roots, and/ or remaining
live stems following fire [15,16].
DISCUSSION AND QUALIFICATION OF PLANT RESPONSE :
NO-ENTRY
FIRE MANAGEMENT CONSIDERATIONS :
Fire alone is not considered an effective tool for controlling kudzu,
but can be used to reduce cover for more efficient application of
herbicides or to provide better access for livestock grazing [15].
