Parthenium hysterophorus invades disturbed land, including roadsides. It infests pastures and farmland, causing often disastrous loss of yield, as reflected in common names such as famine weed.In some areas, heavy outbreaks have been ubiquitous, affecting livestock and crop production, and human health.As an invader it first appeared as a contaminant in imported wheat.

The plant produces Allelopathic chemicalsthat suppress crop and pasture plants, and allergens that affect humans and livestock. It also frequently causes pollen allergies.

Recent studies of this species have found numerous uses. It may be used as a remedy for skin inflammation, rheumatic pain, diarrhoea, urinary tract infections, dysentery, malaria and neuralgia. It shows promise in nano-medicine. Among many other potential uses it is being investigated as a means of removing heavy metals and dyes from the environment, control of aquatic weeds, commercial enzyme production, an additive in manure for biogas production, as a biopesticide, and as green manure and compost.
