Research started in October 1994 showeed that the severity of the problems that it posed varied significantly from one farming system to another. There was also considerable variation in the nature of the control measures used. In some areas most smallholders relied entirely on manual control, but in the Batumarta transmigration area nearly all of them used glyphosate, although in ways that differ from recommeded practice.
