American Mint
North American mint (Mesosphaerum suaveolens) is invasive worldwide. American Mint, known for its aggressive growth, threatens natural habitats.This invader forms dense colonies, displacing native vegetation and upsetting ecosystems. It harms natural plants and fauna, causing ecological imbalances. Controlling American Mint involves limiting its expansion and population. Controlling its growth involves cutting, uprooting, and manual removal. Herbicides that target this invasive species are also considered.
Siam Weed
Invasive Siam Weed (Chromolaena odorata) threatens ecosystems and agriculture. The plant outcompetes native vegetation, reducing biodiversity. It also affects soil nutrient balance, making it unsuitable for other plants. Mechanical, chemical, and biological treatments control Siam Weed. Uprooting or cutting plants is mechanical. Chemical control using Siam Weed-targeted herbicides. Insects and pathogens lower weed populations in biological control.
