With an academic background in biology, environmental forestry and eco-physiology, Dr Paul Beckett shares his expertise in Japanese Knotweed - its life-cycle, different methods of managing it, plus the legalities of it being a `controlled waste`. In collaboration with Professor Anthony Moore of the University of Sussex and Julia Shearman, a PhD student funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Science Research Council, he is looking at new ways to inhibit the rapid growth of this invasive plant.

Try powerful weed steaming. It is better than cutting that could cause spreading. Steaming need be done above and below ground. Powerful steaming can kill roots, seeds and sprouts. Some countries are now using steam treatments on Japanese Knotweed.
She's a pretty funky looking scientist. I thought they would be all bearded men with sandals!
Well said Jaeskes. Please check out my research on this amazing plant. I believe it can even be used to create free ELECTRICITY. Something the Elites would not be happy about. http://butterflylullaby.blogspot.co.uk/2017/11/japanese-knotweed-warrior-sharon-j.html
P.S. Thanks I have added this website link to my Blog. Much appreciated!
I am looking for scientists to help with an exciting experiment. GREEN PLANT ELECTRICITY using JAPANESE KNOTWEED! Want to help? http://butterflylullaby.blogspot.com/2018/06/control-japanese-knotweed-naturally-no.html
Your attempt to reduce this intelligent woman to your petty comments is merely a reflection of your issues.
Thanks for the informative video. I appreciate your work.
I see no instruct on methods to get rid of it.
Being from the United States, I find it comical that I am about to send China money for a dried bag of this. it is considered an invasive species here in the US…even though it has highly profound medicinal properties. Sometimes nature screams in the face of our species, but to no avail. So, to China my money will go…Simply because it was cheaper, and in bulk, i suppose they don't have a problem with availability, or invasivity.
japanese knotweed is very medicinal.. an important source of resveratrol. https://examine.com/supplements/japanese-knotweed/
