A Battle Lost? Report on Two Centuries of Invasion and Management of Lantana camara L. in Australia, India and South Africa
Recent discussion on invasive species has invigorated the debate on strategies to manage these species. Lantana camara L., a shrub native to the American tropics, has become one of the worst weeds in recorded history. In Australia, India and South Africa, Lantana has become very widespread occupying millions of hectares of land. Here, we examine historical records to reconstruct invasion and ma...
متن کاملBioefficacy of Lantana camara L. against Some Human Pathogens
Antimicrobial efficacy of flavonoids (free and bound) and crude alkaloids of Lantana camara L. was determined by disc diffusion assay against three bacteria (Escherichia coli, Proteus mirabilis, and Staphylococcus aureus) and two fungi (Candida albicans and Trichophyton mentagrophytes). Minimum inhibitory concentration, minimum bactericidal/fungicidal concentration and total activity were also ...
متن کاملIn vivo toxicity study of Lantana camara.
OBJECTIVE To investigate the toxicity of methanol extract of various parts (Root, Stem, Leaf, Flower and Fruit) of Lantana camara (L. Camara) in Artemia salina. METHODS The methanol extracts of L. camara were tested for in vivo brine shrimp lethality assay. RESULTS All the tested extract exhibited very low toxicity on brine shrimp larva.

متن کاملResponse of soil fungal richness and composition to Lantana camara L. infestation in the Toowoomba region, South-East Queensland, Australia
Infestations by the weedy perennial plant Lantana camara L. (lantana) cause major disruptions to biodiversity; however, the effects of lantana on soil fungal communities are poorly understood, yet may interrupt important mutualisms in natural and semi-natural ecosystems. This research is aimed at understanding the impacts of lantana on the soil fungal community of five sites on contrasting soil...
متن کاملAllelopathic Effects of Lantana (Lantana camara L.) Leaf Extracts on Germination and Early Growth of three Agricultural Crops in Ethiopia
Allelopathic potential of aqueous extracts of lantana (Lantana camara L.) leaf on germination and growth of three agricultural crops: Maize, Finger millet and Tef, commonly cultivated in Ethiopia were studied under laboratory condition. The aqueous extracts were assayed at 5, 10, 25, 50 and 75% and their allelopathic effects were compared with distilled water (control). All the aqueous extracts...
