London Rocket (Sisymbrium irio) is believed to be native to the Mediterranean region and has become an invasive species in various parts of the world, including North America.
London Rocket is considered a problem due to its rapid growth and ability to colonize disturbed areas. It can outcompete native vegetation, negatively impacting biodiversity and disrupting ecosystems. The plant is known for its adaptability to different soil types and its prolific seed production.
Effective management strategies for London Rocket involve a combination of preventive measures, early detection, and control methods. Control may include manual removal, mowing, targeted herbicide application, and promoting the growth of desirable native vegetation. Integrated pest management practices are often recommended to address the invasive nature of London Rocket.
