Kudzu is known for its rapid growth, which can exceed 2 meters per week, allowing it to quickly cover and smother existing vegetation and structures. Introduced to the U.S. in 1876, it was later spread for erosion control but has since become one of the world's worst invasive alien species, causing significant ecological and economic damage. The plant has alternating leaves made of three oval-shaped or lobed leaflets. It forms thick canopies that block sunlight from native plants and can alter soil chemistry by fixing large amounts of nitrogen.
