Kudzu was introduced to America in the late 19th century and farmers were encouraged to plant it to prevent soil erosion. Since then it has been labelled an invasive species and it a major problem for many people. Kudzu is so destructive because it grows over everything and anything blocking sunlight from reaching other plants. According to the Center for Aquatic and Invasive plants it can grow up to a foot a day making it even harder to control than a normal invasive species. It takes consistent monitoring and laboring to eradicate, making this plant a serious pain for farmers and homeowners.
