Abstract : Chromolaena odorata, a notorious invasive weed, disrupts ecosystems, agriculture, and economies worldwide. Its allelopathic tendencies hinder the growth of neighboring plants, leading to detrimental effects on crops such as chili peppers, tomatoes, soybeans, and shallots. Conventional control methods prove ineffective and unsustainable, given their economic and environmental drawbacks. Eradicating this fast- spreading weed presents significant challenges. This paper provides a comprehensive review of composting and anaerobic digestion as promising strategies for managing and controlling Chromolaena odorata. Additionally, its phytoremediation properties suggest potential for use in metal recovery efforts.

Keywords : Allelopathy, Anaerobic Digestion, Chromolaena Odorata, Composting, Phytoremediation.
