Several Acacia species are aggressive invaders outside their native range, often occupying extensive areas. Traditional management approaches have proven to be ineffective and economically unfeasible, especially when dealing with large infestations. Here, we explain a different approach complement traditional by using the waste from activities. This can provide stakeholders tools potentially reduce costs encourage proactive actions. It also prioritizes potential applications of biomass for agriculture forestry as way sequestering carbon released during control We advocate use compost/vermicompost, green manure charcoal produced waste, several studies shown effectiveness in improving soil fertility supporting crop growth. The derivatives bioherbicides or biostimulants is pending validation under field conditions. Although invasive spp. banned commercialization cultivation, remains permissible. In this respect, recommend collection vegetative stage its subsequent after being dried dead, prevent further propagation. Moreover, it crucial establish legal framework mitigate risks associated handling disposal waste.
