Can a new giant salvinia infestation occur even if most ofthe mat is destroyed except for the protected buds? Fromthis study, we are able to conclude that buds can producenew growth under certain stressful conditions. They must begreater than 0.2 cm in length and they must possess greaterthan 30% moisture content to survive.
