Mechanical: For small infestations, R. ficaria may be pulled up by hand or dug up using a hand trowel or shovel. It is very important to remove all bulblets and tubers.\" The authors caution that mechanical control is considered inappropriate for large infestations in high quality natural areas because of disturbance to soil.
