Methods of Control
I believe that the references from 2006 and 2008 concerning how Himalayan Balsam is best controlled are out of date, and that the article should be rewritten to present the current (as far as I can see) consensus that pulling (physical weeding) is the standard method of controlling its spread and removing it from habitats. I won't make this change immediately, but put this comment on the talk page to see if there is anyone who would like to discuss this. Ross-c (talk) 08:27, 17 May 2015 (UTC)

Scientific name redirect
Why is the scientific name redirecting to ONE of the common names for this species? This seems like a prime example of an article that should be at the scientific name with the common name as the redirect.192.104.39.2 (talk) 19:48, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

Dud Reference
The intro reads:

Himalayan Balsam is a large annual plant, native to the Himalayas (resulting in its colloquial name of kiss-me-on-the-mountain[1] in the UK).

It sites the following reference:

''^ "Wanted!: Himalayan Balsam". British Isles: A Natural History. BBC. http://www.open2.net/naturalhistory/invaders/wanted/himalayan_balsam.html. Retrieved 04 December 2009.''

I read this reference and it has no mention of the name kiss-me-on-the-mountain. What should be done about this? Note that the reference is good for information on the plant, just its position in the article is misleading.Zazazen (talk) 08:49, 16 July 2011 (UTC)
