“…Similarly, the tropical weed, Lantana camara L. Sensu lato (Lantana, Verbanaceae) has been identified to possess nematicidal constituents that suppress the growth and reproduction of various species of Meloidogyne (Shaukat and Siddiqui 2001 ;Qamar et al 2005;Begum et al 2008;Ahmad et al 2010). The weed is a highly invasive shrub in some tropical countries like South Africa of which biological control measures are currently being evaluated (Urban et al 2011). This study was carried out to evaluate the individual and combined effects of L. camara aqueous leaf extract and a bioformulated P. lilacinus on the pathogenicity of M. incognita race I on tomato.…”

“…It also has a large impact on water resources by using up to 97.14 m 3 of the surface water resources (Le Maitre et al, 2000). This species has also been the subject of the most intensive biological control programme in South Africa (Richardson et al, 1997;Urban et al, 2011). In the last 23 years, 30 possible biological control agents have been evaluated and seven were found suitable for release into South Africa (Urban et al, 2011).…”

The limited knowledge on the taxonomy of this species has made it difficult to select effective biological control agents and thus lantana is still not under adequate control and remains a problem in many areas of South Africa (Richardson et al, 1997;Urban et al, 2011).…”

Impacts of climate change on invasive Lantana camara L. distribution in South Africa

Climate change and invasive species are now seen as two major contributors to global biodiversity change. The combined effects of these two factors have serious implications for biodiversity and agriculture. Lantana camara L. (sensu lato) (lantana) is a woody shrub that is highly invasive in many countries of the world including South Africa where it has a profound impact on biodiversity, water resources and agriculture. Strategies to manage and control this highly noxious weed will benefit from information on its likely potential distribution under current and future climate. CLIMEX, a species distribution modelling software, was used to develop a process-oriented niche model to estimate its potential distribution under current and future climate scenarios. Model calibration was carried out with phenological observations and geographic distribution records of lantana. The potential distribution of lantana under current climate showed a good match to its current distribution in South Africa. Under future scenarios, the climatically suitable areas for lantana were projected to contract in the northern provinces of Limpopo and Mpumalanga as well as coastal areas of Western Cape Province. However, lantana's potential distribution may expand further inland into new areas in KwaZulu-Natal and Eastern Cape provinces. The results suggest that lantana management initiatives in areas where climatic suitability is likely to decline should focus on controlling the density of invasion rather than curbing range expansion. On the other hand, areas where climatic suitability is projected to increase will require ongoing monitoring to prevent further range expansions.

Home gardens in villages near conservation areas play an important role, both in ecological and socio-economical aspects. The aim of this research was to identify plant species diversity in home gardens in Pancasila Village, Tambora Geopark in the Sumbawa Islands. Floristic surveys were conducted at 25 home gardens in the local community. In-depth interviews with informants were conducted to generate information related to species value and home garden management. Results of the study show that 87plant species (46 families) were grown in home gardens. These plants consisted of 49.56% Phanerophytes, 8.90% Chamaephytes, 25.28% Hemicryptophytes and 6.70% Cryptophytes. According to phytogeograpical origins, 24.41% of the species were exclusively Asian-Tropical species. These plants had numerous purposes, including staple food, spices and vegetables, fruit trees, shading trees and ornamental plants. Among all species in home gardens, some plants had high frequency percentages, including Nephelium lappaceum (52%), Bougainvillea spectabilis (40%), Mangifera indica (36%), Musa paradisiaca (36%) and Coffea sp. (32%). Most of the species were identified as exotic plant species and, therefore, attention to such species groups is needed to protect the environment and biodiversity of Tambora Geopark. Home gardens in Pancasila are ideal sites for biodiversity conservation. It is also crucial environmental component in rural tourism development.
