The effectiveness of Canadian goldenrod (Solidago canadensis<\/em>) control methods is being assessed at four pilot sites covering a total area of 22.6 hectares:<\/h3>

\"\" In the city of J\u0113kabpils \u2013 1.96 hectares<\/p>

\"\" In the city of Daugavpils \u2013 11.56 hectares<\/p>

\"\" In Abava Valley Nature Park (Kandava) \u2013 6.15 hectares<\/p>

\"\" In \u0136emeri National park \u2013 2.93 hectares<\/p>

The work is being led by the project partner, the Nature Conservation Agency of Latvia.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\"\" Mowing at different frequencies (two to three times per growing season)<\/p>

\"\" Rotavating the topsoil, overseeding with a mixture of competitive plant species (cocksfoot and white clover), and mowing<\/p>

\"\" Rotavating the topsoil and mowing<\/p>
