Parthenium

Saplings planted on the Mysore University grounds are coming up well.ButI don't suppose de-weeding parthenium is seen as part of mass-planting operation undertaken by the forest dept. The university authorities haven't paid attention to the spread of parthenium.
If only the hundreds of sportsmen and morning walkers using the grounds daily address the issue as community service, and spare half hour every morning for de-weeding, the grounds can be cleared of parthenium within a few weeks.
