The LSU AgCenter is getting a grant potentially worth one million dollars to study the vital bayou stalwart roseau cane. The cane helps keep the bayou intact, but is threatened by sea level changes and an infection of roseau scale. Professor Roberto Diaz says they’ll use the money to run a series of tests in isolated greenhouses and out in the field.
As much as 90 percent of the total vegetation of more southern bayous is compromised of the cane, and it’s massive root system that can result in an eight foot tall plant.
