What Scientists are Testing to Get Rid of Kudzu: • 1.) Scientists are trying to find biological controls (natural predators) to the plant. • 2.) Picloram, or "agent pink" is sometimes extremely effective if applied with persistence. However, it can damage crops. • 3.) Three different chemicals which are known to be herbicides can kill it. • 4.)
