UF/IFAS Extension Publications:
Aquatic Plant Management
Specialists from the Cooperative Extension Service, at the University of Florida, have produced more than 4000 publications relevant to their education and research efforts. Among them area number of circulars about aquatic and invasive plant management. All of these publications are available
from EDIS, an Electronic Data Information Source, courtesy of the Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences.
However, we thought we'd save you some time by providing a short list of publications relevant to this project.
Note: In addition to the EDIS circulars, this page also contains links to a number of publications that are
designed for training individuals interested in managing invasive plants. These may serve as valuable resources to
students interested in a related career. Let us know what you think.
