An invention is described about biological control of noxious aquatic weeds. Research in tropical green houses revealed the discovery of two fungal pathogens were developed as ‘mycoherbicides’ to eradicate invading weeds in tropical and subtropical waterways. Treatments of Water Hyacinth and Water Lettuce led to sudden death, sinking, and early dying. More than 90% of these invading weeds were killed in green house trails.
