Solution to kill mulberry flowers on Till river

On the Till River, near Saxiby, the mulberry flower grows rapidly covering the 2.5-mile (4km) river. Here, water hyacinth grows densely on the water surface, occupying all the light and oxygen of aquatic plants, fish and invertebrates.

The UK environmental agency said it had released 8,000 strawberry-eating beetles to clean the river section. These bugs will reproduce and grow to millions, which will be enough to control all mulberry flowers on this river section.

This bug will eat mulberry flowers without affecting the other species. The beetles will also die after eating a sugar through the plant, making the mulberry tree die completely without having to dredge the river or use chemicals.

Mulberry is a type of aquatic fern imported from North America into England around 1840 for the purpose of making ornamental and ornamental ponds. However, strawberry flower has become a problem on the Till River earlier this year. The Till River is a branch of the Witham River.

The local government once cleaned up the mulberry flower in this river in June. But due to the very fast reproductive rate, the ducks doubled after only 4 to 5 days so the rabbits reappeared and followed the flow throughout the river. Witham. Warm and dry weather has supported the development of this species.

British environmental agency also said that invasive species cause damage of about 1.7 million pounds annually.
