Typha angustifolia were cut in June, July and August in 2002, and in May and July in 2003 for i nvestigating their strategy to survive from cutting at different timing. Zizania latifolia was also cut in July in 2003. The cutting effects were evaluated quantitatively by regrowth characteristics of aboveground leaves just after cutting. The belowground production of T. angustifolia was decreased by summer cutting. This was due to the decrement of transportation from original shoot to belowground and from regrowth shoot to belowground organ. July to August is the best season for controlling expansion of the species, because the transportation can be decreased by the cutting. The amount of transportation from belowground to aboveground organ was a little compared with the decrement of belowground biomass and was almost the same with the two species, but heterotrophic season just after cutting were found 15 days, 40days in case of T. angustifolia and Z. latifolia, respectively. The season was longer and secondary shoot was formed in case of Z. latifolia. This implies the different strategy of Z. latifolia with T. angustifolia.
