This book explores the most important aspects of the biology,
ecology and management of what is one of the world's worst weeds.
Originally regarded as a major weed in Australia and India,
Parthenium weed is now widespread in around 48 countries in Africa,
Asia and the South Pacific, and has the potential to spread to new
countries in Africa, Asia and Europe. This book, which is a
collective effort by 27 members of the International Parthenium
Weed Network, addresses research and knowledge gaps for different
countries. It examines the weed's mode of spread, its impact on
agricultural production, its effect on the environment and on human
health, and its management using biological control, as well as
cultural, physical and chemical approaches. It also considers the
coordination of the weed's management, possible uses for Parthenium
weed, its present distribution and how this is impacted by climate
change. This book includes: A detailed analysis of Parthenium weed
biology. Experiences with Parthenium weed worldwide. An explanation
of practical management options. This book will be of interest to
graduate students and researchers in universities and institutes,
in the fields of plant ecology, botany, agriculture, conservation
and restoration ecology.
