- Abstract
Parthenium hysterophorus L. of the Asteraceae (tribe: Heliantheae), is an erect and heavily branching annual or ephemeral herb most known for its function as an environmental, medical, and agricultural hazard. It is thought to have been transported into India and Australia from North America, and it has recently emerged as the sixth most destructive weed in Africa, Asia and Australia. The purpose of this review is to give general information about parthenium's physiology, distribution, adverse effect, and management. Parthenium weed control has been attempted using many ways, however, no one management option is appropriate for its management and there is a need to integrate diverse management options. The only way to successfully manage this weed is with an integrated approach that includes biological control as a crucial component. The current and potential use of natural enemies as traditional biological control agents are discussed, as well as the work done over the last 20 years on screening and evaluating both insect and fungus agents. It is determined that successful management of this weed can only be done by an integrated approach, with biological control playing a considerable role due to its costeffectiveness, environmental safety and sustainability.
