Bamboo is a forest resource with many uses. However, the need to control its invasive potential is emerging as the plant continues to invade the cultivated land and spread due to its aggressive characteristics. This study investigated the effectiveness of shoot injection of glyphosate isopropylamine soluble concentrate in controlling bamboo from spreading to cultivated land in the Phyllostachys bambusoides forest. The results showed that treatment in autumn was significantly more effective than in spring. In general, shoot injection of glyphosate isopropylamine stock solution without necessarily cutting the bamboo was effective. Notably, even when the whole bamboo was not treated with shoot injection, the surrounding bamboo stands connected by the subterranean stem progressively withered and subsequently died out. The bamboo shoots at a distance of 1-3 m from the shoot injection treatment area were also damaged, and dead bamboo stands were evident. Therefore, in cultivated land where bamboo invasion is in progress, it is believed that control is possible by drilling into the bamboo stem and directly injecting undiluted or 10 times the glyphosate isopropylamine solution 1 to 2 m wide around the farmland.
