Summary
This narrative review presents a comprehensive framework for managing invasive plant species across two phases: prevention before introduction and monitoring/integrated management after establishment. The authors synthesise recent advances in novel detection tools, rapid herbicide resistance assays, and management strategies, using Amaranthus palmeri and Solanum elaeagnifolium as exemplar cases to guide stakeholders in preventing new invasions and mitigating long-term impacts on crop yields and ecosystem services.
Regional applicability
The framework and detection methodologies are potentially applicable to UK arable and horticultural systems where invasive species threaten biodiversity and crop productivity. UK farmers and advisors would benefit from understanding herbicide resistance screening protocols and early detection approaches, though specific case studies focus on species with different geographical distributions.
Key measures
Detection tools, herbicide resistance screening assays, invasive species growth dynamics, adaptability rates, and management efficacy across conventional and novel treatments
Outcomes reported
The review synthesises frameworks for early detection of invasive plant species, rapid herbicide resistance screening methods, and integrated management strategies. It uses Amaranthus palmeri and Solanum elaeagnifolium as case studies to propose a holistic management approach.
