The effects of Ageratum spicatum and pseudoodoratum are different

Although both plants are invasive species, ageratum has certain ornamental value and medicinal effect. At present, pseudoodorous grass is only harmful, and the prevention and control of pseudoodorous grass is a more important task, because it excludes other grasses wherever it goes, which seriously affects the plant diversity of the area. Moreover, pseudostinky grass can seriously consume soil nutrients and destroy soil fertility and cultivability. In addition, pseudostinky grass will secrete a toxic odor, which is not conducive to livestock foraging< span>
