Monochoria korsakowii explained

Monochoria korsakowii is a species of annual flowering plant in the water hyacinth family known by several common names, including heartleaf false pickerelweed and oval-leafed pondweed. It is found in lakes, ponds, swamps, and rice paddy fields.^[1]

It is native to east Asia, although it is endangered in Japan due to excessive use of acetolactate synthase-inhibiting herbicides.^{[2] [3]} In China, it has become a significant threat to rice production, particularly in Liaoning province, where it has evolved high levels of resistance to the herbicide bensulfuron-methyl.^[4]
