Prosopis juliflora is considered a noxious weed but its eradication is very costly inhivitive if no impossible ! We have very strong openion that it's spread could be chacked only if it's pods are crushed with seed to process livestock feed ! Pods/ seeds are very protein , carbohydrates and mneral rich and we have demonstrated through R&D that they are absolutely safe for livstock and human consumption ! Livestock feed processing is very simple ! Our work in this direction could be very helpful , especially for Africa , where countries are facing lot of problems due to this species ! Comments and views from learned researchers are welcome !

J. C. Tewari Because they say that the Prosopis juliflora species is an invasive species if one is frowned upon, a very important species in the ecosystem. Furthermore, its fruits contain important vitamins for humans. Its wood is too hard with a lot of workability. What happens is that they do not give benefit to this species they have it as a bad sight but this species. We, the students of the National University of Loja del Ecuador, are conducting an Investigation of the Physical and Mechanical Properties of the Wood of Prosopis juliflora.
Yes, its is really good for ecological aspects because biodiversity affected to eradication of such species. Many pockets are habitat of local fauna. In addition this plants thickets generate additional income from value added products.
