That kudzu [Pueraria lobata] enriches the soil, provides ground cover, and serves as a nutritious food source are three ways that many identify as to how the plant is helpful. Specifically, kudzu shares membership in the Fabaceae family with beans and peas. That means that, unlike many crops and plants outside that family, kudzu makes nutritious, vital nitrogen available to the underground food web of soil, roots and critters. Secondly, kudzu grows where many other plants can't. In fact, it even manages to thrive. Thirdly, particularly the young shoots are a healthy, free, delicious, accessible food source for wildlife ... and humans!
Many studies on kudzu investigate its potential medicinal properties, such as its effects on alcoholism, menopausal symptoms, and cardiovascular health. Other research focuses on its impact on ecosystems, as kudzu is an invasive species that can outcompete native plants.

Effective control of kudzu typically requires targeted management strategies, such as mechanical removal or herbicide application.
