P. juliflora Exploitation, Rural Household Economy and its Controlling

P. juliflora is a paradoxical exotic invasive plant in Ethiopia among the agro-pastoralists, pastoralists, mechanized farmland owners, and economists and ecologists. Conversely, in recent decades Prosopis has quickly become one of the most important tree genera in many tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Provide a comprehensive account of uses of P. juliflora as they are capable of growing on degraded land under arid conditions and being a multipurpose tree.There is an urgent need to fill the knowledge gap and look for an immediate approach focusing on reasonable and sustainable controlling alternatives, particularly in developing countries like Ethiopia, where there is no considerable capability in handling such challenges and support rural livelihoods in the dry lands through making use of P. juliflora as a valuable resource.These approaches will in the long term significantly contribute towards controlling its spread.
