Weeds are a serious problem in this region during both the establishment of pastures and their productive period, causing serious reduction in growth, vigour, productivity and persistence. Factors responsible for weed infestation and possible methods of prevention and control are outlined in this paper. The biology and weed Ecology of Cassia alata, Digitaria insularis, Jatropha gossypifolia, Mimosa spp, Sida spp, Solanurn rnauritianurn and Solanum torvum are briefly described and detailed recommendations are given for the control of these weeds.

“…This noxious solanum invades disturbed sites such as pastures, crop fields, roadsides, damp waste areas and forest clearings where it competes with desirable plants for moisture, light and nutrients. Although it is frequently cultivated as a yard plant in south Florida (Westbrooks & Eplee 1989), turkey berry is potentially poisonous to animals (Chadhokar 1976, Abatan et al 1997, and possibly carcinogenic to humans (Balachandran & Si-varamkrishnan 1995). Turkey berry has been reported as a reservoir for Alternaria solani Sorauer (Deuteromycetes: Dematiaceae), the causative agent of wilt disease in potatoes and tomatoes (Mune & Parham 1967), and is considered one of the most invasive weeds on other continents, particularly in parts of Australia and South Africa that are climatically similar to Florida (Holm et al 1979).…”
