An Overview: The Toxicity of <i>Ageratina adenophora</i> on Animals and Its Possible Interventions

<i>Ageratina adenophora</i> is one of the major invasive weeds that causes instability of the ecosystem. Research has reported that <i>A. adenophora</i> produces allelochemicals that inhibit the growth and development of food crops, and also contain some toxic compounds that...
