Abstract
A wide range of methods are available for managing submerged, floating and aquatic weeds (Pieterse & Murphy, 1990). The efficacy of these methods is well documented for major weed species. However, relatively few investigations have attempted to assess the impacts of aquatic weed control, on specific weed populations, in the context of the different ecological pressures which influence their survival. This study aimed to assess the response of Typha latifolia, Potamogeton pectinatus and Salvinia rotundifolia, three weed species which cause problems in Iranian fresh waters, to different weed control methods, in relation to naturally occurring and augmented stress and disturbance factors (e.g. shade, nutrient status, sediment type, competition, chemical and physical damage).
