Abstract/Contents:Profiles Equisetum arvense, also known as horsetail or marestail. Describes characteristics of horsetail, stating that it "is a non-flowering herbaceous perennial with extensive rhizomatous roots." Explains that "Equisetum arvense once established is a difficult plant to control due to adaptations such as the siliceous stem which is quite impenetrable, the vast and easily separated rhizome system and the ability to re-establish from small pieces of parent material." Discusses potential control options, including cultural and chemical methods. Concludes that "management of horsetail in a turf situation is always going to be challenging."
