Risk Assessments and Management Practices for the Major Invasive Plants Recorded in the Horticultural Ecosystem of the Western Pacific

Abstract

In the present study is undertaken to use an existing tools to rate potential weeds and then present existing literature information for dealing with the potentially weeding plants. The potential 20 most widespread invasive plants as Bidens alba, Panicum maximum, Stachytarpheta jamaicensis, Antigonon leptopus, Paspalum paniculatum, Miscanthus floridulus, Euphorbia heterophylla, Chromolaena odorata, Mikania micrantha, Synedrella nodiflora, Chamaesyce hirta, Mimosa pudica, Leucaena leucocephala, Pennisetum polystachion, Euphorbia cyathophora, Sida rhombifolia, Momordica charantia, Chrysopogon aciculatus, Chamaesyce hypericifolia, and Chloris barbata. The information presented is a type of data that could be useful to farmers and people on the Western Pacific. Here, risk ratings for these major invasive plant species are presented and described the management practices recommended for them in the published literature.
