Kudzu is also able to allocate large portions of carbon to root growth, allowing it to acquire sufficient nutrients for rapid growth and to spread clonally. Primary kudzu roots can weigh over 180 kilograms (400 lb), grow to 18 centimetres (7 in) in diameter, and penetrate soil at a rate of 3 centimetres (1 + 1 ⁄ 8 in) in depth per day. Kudzu ...

It was intentionally planted on both the east and west coasts [2] to control weeds and prevent erosion. [1] Today it is a common grass across the continent and is a noxious weed in some areas. [ 3 ] It is a sturdy, hardy, persistent, aggressive grass that easily outcompetes many other plants and becomes the dominant species in disturbed habitat ...
