Barreto R.W., Torres A.N.L. Nimbya alternantherae and Cercospora altemantherae two new records of fungal pathogens on Altemanthera philoxeroides (alligator weed) in Brazil. Aust Plant Pathol 1999 28 103-107. 

As part of a study of the persistence of silvex in water, the PGBE ester was applied as an emulsion. The ester is distributed as a 64.5% concentrate (42.8% acid equivalent). In this study, floating masses of alligatorweed (Altemanthera philoxeroides [Mart.] Griseb.) contained in 1500-gallon plastic swimming pools, were sprayed. To simulate natural conditions, the bottoms of the pools were covered with a 4 to 5-inch thick layer of soils, the tanks were filled with water, alligatorweed was added, and the system was allowed to equilibrate for 3 months prior to treatment. Three different soil types—Piedmont, Coastal Plains, and Florida muck—taken from their representative areas in the southeastern United States, were used as discrete bottom muds.
