The Biology, Ecology, Distribution and Management of Two Globally Invasive Weeds: Calotropis procera (Calotrope) and Calotropis gigantea (Giant Calotrope)

Weed Research, Volume 66, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT Calotropis procera and C. gigantea are emerging as globally invasive plants that can significantly alter ecosystems in areas where they have escaped from attended cultivation. Without effective management, these species can form dense monospecific stands, resulting in severe economic, environmental and social impacts.
