In addition, you might wish to consult some of the following fact sheets, websites and scientific articles. Note that the strain of hydrilla that’s been found in the northern United States (north of South Carolina) – and what we’d expect to find in Illinois – is monoecious hydrilla, versus the dioecious strain that comprises most hydrilla found in the southern United States.
