Excerpt from Agents for Biological Control of Purple Nutsedge, Cyperus Rotundus L: The Genus Bactra Stephens (Lepidoptera; Tortricidae; Olethreutinae) As a Major Source, With Emphasis on the Biology and Potential Use of Bactra Verutana Zeller Among the more widespread weeds in the world are two perennial herbs that propagate primarily by means of underground tubers. These plants are in the sedge family, Cyperaceae, and are purple nutsedge, Cyperus rotundus L., and yellow nutsedge, C. Esculentus L. Because these weeds are difficult to control, Holm et al. (1977) rated purple nutsedge as the world's worst weed and yellow nutsedge as the 16th worst. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
