Around 5% of the plant species deliberately introduced into Florida for crop production and horticultural uses have invaded sensitive aquatic terrestrial natural areas as well improved pastures. One reasons they become invasive is lack enemies that limit their reproduction. Biological control reunites these (usually arthropods) with host plants to selectively weaken suppress weeds.

In response to the mounting environmental and anthropogenic challenges, there has been a notable shift towards adopting biological approaches as pivotal components of integrated sustainable weed control strategies. Over course centuries, efficacy employing agents for management emerged cornerstone in addressing these challenges. This review article aims delve into historical evolution contemporary significance control, highlighting their role modern agricultural ecological practices. Our exploration begins with classical perspective on approach, shining spotlight arthropods, particularly insects. A unique angle introduced involves redistribution local arthropods nuanced method effective control. Transitioning bioherbicide section, we realm formulated natural products diverse formulations, recognizing However, landscape is not without its Financial constraints, side effects, divergent opinions pose hurdles that warrant attention. Yet, despite narrative maintains an optimistic outlook. The underlying belief that, future, methods will evolve offer only but also solutions essence, this abstract navigates through successes explores specific facets such bioherbicides, confronts existing ultimately anticipates future where emerge more promising players field

Factors that influence the early stages of invasion can be critical to success, yet are seldom studied. In particular, broad pre‐adaptation recipient climate may importantly colonization few studies have explicitly examined this. I performed an experiment determine how similarity between seed source and transplant site latitude, as a general indicator climate, interacts with propagule pressure (100, 200 400 seeds/pot) success widespread North American weed, St. John's wort Hypericum perforatum . Seeds originating from seven native European populations were sown in pots buried ground field western Montana. Seed either similar or divergent latitude site. Across density treatments, match did not affect proportion colonized number individual colonists per pot. contrast, had significant positive effect on colonization. These results suggest propagules many climatically viable invaders.

Parthenium hysterophorus, a noxious weed of tropical America, had relocated to Indian plains and rapidly encroached on north-western Himalayas Mountain regions. Earlier, the plant was primarily found in wastelands, but it now thrives cultivated fields, pastures, roadsides. threatens human animal health, destroys vegetation, lowers diversity native groups causes significant financial damage individuals their significance numerous nations worldwide. Parthenin, sesquiterpene lactone P. is harmful livestock poses serious health risk people, e.g., dermatitis skin rashes, emaciation, tissue rupturing, internal organ haemorrhages death are hazardous side effects. Several studies being conducted determine most efficient reasonable method control this worldwide, including physical, chemical biological ones. The study revealed that biocontrol hysterophorus cost-effective, safe viable technique no threat non-target organisms, environment biodiversity, some allelopathic plants used curb growth congress grass. combined effects agents like insects, fungi, nematodes, snails, slugs, competitive decrease density vigour grass increase its production. work done over past 20 years screening evaluating both insect fungal actual potential employment natural enemies as traditional has been discussed. concludes control, because affordability, environmental safety sustainability, could be constituent an effective strategy for managing weed.
