Replies to two questions:
1. Yes. It is still a menace in Indfia in most parts. In parts of Karnataka, its intensity is very much reduced due to adoption of the IPWM (inegrated parthenium weed mwnagement )Technology.
2. Cassia sericia is one of the botanical agents used to chek the invation of Parthenium. It will not work in all situations. There are about 10 agents identified and different combinations work in diffrerent situations. One combination cannot work every where. Also release of Mexican beetle has helped to some extent.. It is possible to identify agents throuh a survey in the area which needs to be taken up for freeinf from mparthenium menace

Dear Pankaj,
Greetings.
I need your help to get answers to 2 questions of mine related to
parthenium.
1. Is is still a menace in India? If so to what extent?
2.I am told CASSIA- a plant - Leguminosi Family- could be used to
control parthenium. The best part is cassia contains 22% protein
which could nourish the population also. Growing is simple. Is that
so?
regards
Rtn.S.Jayaraman.

Dear Pankajbhai
I, Arvindbhai Dave have been serving as a science teacher in PTC
Mahila College connected with Gajera Educational Institute at Amreli

Our Amreli district is highly affected from PARTHENIUM which
is highly dangerous to human as well as animal life.
I have made working scissor for removing PARTHENIUM.
PARTHENIUM can easily and effectively be removed by the use this
scissor with more scientific work can be done on this field.
