Many experiments started with local plant competition induced to control/remove spots of Japanese Knotweed (Reynoutria japonica, or Fallopia japonica). However I did not find conclusions/publications/reports.
Do you know any cryptic stories or reports with conclusion?
We would try a competition with local Salix spp. in France and avoid repetitive mistakes.
Dear David,
You may find more extensive literature under one of this taxon's (many) synonyms.
eg, Fallopia japonica:
Koce 2016 The effects of leaf extracts of crack willow (Salix fragilis) on the growth of Japanese knotweed (Fallopia japonica)
Skinner et al. 2012 Planting Native Species to Control Site Reinfestation by Japanese Knotweed (Fallopia japonica)
Dommanget et al. 2014 Differential allelopathic effects of Japanese knotweed on willow and cottonwood cuttings used in riverbank restoration techniques
Best regards,
Todd
