Aside from our knowledge of arundo donax and its similarity to phragmites. and our knowledge that it is conclusive evidence of high salinity in the area where it is found, and also our knowledge that it is the first step in combating it mechanically by removing it and improving the depth of the drains,
I have a question. I don't know if it is new or not!
- Are there certain beneficial alternative plants whose roots secrete secretions that work to eliminate this plant? Can we replace them and expand their cultivation in drains and waterways? I look forward to an enjoyable discussion with you.

No single plant with root secretions to eliminate Arundo donax has been definitively identified, some plants can be used in combination with other methods to manage its spread. A healthy and diverse plant community can help to create a more resilient ecosystem less susceptible to Arundo's invasive tendencies.
Thanks!
