Invasive plants are usually characterized by fast growth rates, high fruit production, rapid vegetative spread and efficient seed dispersal and germination.
Invasive plants, whether they are native or non-native, have the ability to take over native plant communities, forming monocultures and displacing native plants.
Most invasive plants are difficult to control and require the use of manual and chemical techniques.
An invasive species is a non-native species whose introduction does, or is likely to, cause economic or environmental harm or harm to human health.
