Invasive Alien Plants
Impacts on Development and Options for Management
by Carol A Ellison, Sean T Murphy, K V Sankaran
Description
Invasive alien plants pose a major threat to agriculture and livelihoods worldwide. This book considers those impacts and options for biological control, through a case study of mikania weed, a neotropical invasive plant in many countries in the tropical humid forest zones of Southeast Asia. This perennial vine can smother agro-forestry and natural forest ecosystems, as well as many crops within homegarden and plantation production systems. The design of policy frameworks to combat invasive species is considered in depth, as is the use of classical biological control against mikania weed ;
- 1: Invasive alien plants as a constraint to development in tropical Asia: is there a crisis in the making?
- 2: Profile of an invasive plant: Mikania micrantha
- 3: Social and economic implications of Mikania micrantha in the Kerala Western Ghats
- 4: Impacts and management options for Mikania micrantha in plantations
- 5: Mikania micrantha: its status and impact on people and wildlife in Nepal
- 6: Impact and management of invasive alien plants on Pacific island communities
- 7: Understanding the impact of invasive Mikania micrantha in shifting agriculture and its management through traditional ecological knowledge
- 8: Prevention and related measures for invasive alien plants in India; policy framework and other initiatives
- 9: Control options for invasive alien plants in agroforestry
- 10: Classical biological control of Mikania micrantha: the sustainable solution
- 11: Policy frameworks for the implementation of a classical biological control strategy: the Chinese experience
- 12: Policy frameworks for the implementation of a classical biological control strategy: the Indian experience
