Prosopis juliflora can be an extremely invasive species that grows on salt water areas, overtaking native flora and dominating rangelands. The detrimental impacts include the complete elimination of pastures and rangelands for both domestic and wild ruminants, as well as difficulties in accessing water and the damage to fishing nets caused by its thorns. Livestock may suffer illness or even death from consuming P. juliflora pods or from being pierced by its sharp, robust thorns. Additional consequences involve the reduction of arable land, expenses incurred from repairing tires punctured by thorns, and medical costs for treating thorn-related injuries. Dense clusters of P. juliflora can obstruct irrigation channels, hinder roadways, and completely block smaller paths, thereby severely impacting access to grazing areas, farmland, water supplies, and fishing spots. P. juliflora also influences the soil ecosystem through allelochemicals found in its plant parts, which affect living organisms, aggressively dominate land use and cover, lead to economic losses, impact human and animal health, and decrease biodiversity. Conversely, the species can enhance soil properties (including its physical and biological characteristics), sequester CO2 to help mitigate greenhouse effects, and provide other economic benefits such as construction materials, furniture, medicinal properties, pollination sources for honey production, and livestock feed, particularly in semiarid and arid tropical regions. Nonetheless, the adverse effects of P. juliflora outweigh its benefits. Various control methods such as mechanical, chemical, management through utilization, fire regimes, disrupting its growth cycles, and biological control have their advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, prevention, integrated management strategies, and utilizing the species wisely are the most effective recommendations for controlling P. juliflora, both globally and in Ethiopia. Community awareness of mechanical methods (such as altering growth stages and utilizing the species) and proactive mobilization are crucial for the successful and efficient management of this invasive species. At tuticorin saltern of S.K.S.C.NADARAJAN & BROR. is also facing problems due to this invasive prosopis juliflora.
