Thousands of hectares of native plants and shallow open
water habitat have been displaced in Lake Okeechobee’s

Panicum
repens
L.). The rate of torpedograss expansion, it’s areal distribution
and the efficacy of herbicide treatments used to
control torpedograss in the lake’s marsh were quantified using
aerial color infra red (IR) photography.(PDF has 6 pages.
