Difficult to Control. Lantana's invasive roots can spread rapidly, making it difficult to control in home gardens. Regular pruning and maintenance are needed to prevent it from taking over landscapes.
Lantana camara (common lantana) is a species of flowering plant in the verbena family (Verbenaceae), native to the American tropics. [5] [6] It is a very adaptable species, which can inhabit a wide variety of ecosystems; once it has been introduced into a habitat it spreads rapidly; between 45ºN and 45ºS and less than 1,400 metres (4,600 feet) in altitude.
Soil conservation is the prevention of loss of the topmost layer of the soil from erosion or prevention of reduced fertility caused by over usage, acidification, salinization or other chemical soil contamination. Slash-and-burn and other unsustainable methods of subsistence farming are practiced in some lesser
Ophiomyia camarae is a fly native to the Caribbean, Mexico, Central America and Florida [2] but has been introduced as biological control agent to many countries outside the Americas as biological control agent of Lantana camara. The adult have a size of 1.5–2 mm are shiny, black with red compound eyes.
Lantana (/ l æ n ˈ t ɑː n ə,-ˈ t eɪ-/) [2] is a genus of about 150 species of perennial flowering plants in the verbena family, Verbenaceae.

Tilling the soil, or tillage, is the breaking of soil, such as with a plough or harrow, to prepare the soil for new seeds. Tillage systems vary in intensity and disturbance. Conventional tillage is the most intense tillage system and disturbs the deepest level of soils. At least 30% of plant residue remains on the soil surface in conservation ...
Soil solarization is a non-chemical environmentally friendly method for controlling pests using solar power to increase the soil temperature to levels at which many soil-borne plant pathogens will be killed or greatly weakened. [1] Soil solarization is used in warm climates on a relatively small scale in gardens and organic farms.
The EPA and Vistra Energy, which owns the plant, have air quality monitoring equipment on site, which has not picked up reportable levels of hydrogen fluoride gas, according to North County Fire ...
