Invasive plant species (IPS) are often considered weeds that cause high yield losses in crops, negatively affect the environment, and disrupt certain ecosystem services. The negative impact of IPS on biodiversity is increasing and disturbing native vegetation. The management of plant invasions can be divided in two phases (before and after invasion).

Tests on whole plants show that the dose of herbicide needed to reduce dry weight by 50% (GR) or plant survival (LD) decreases by mixing glyphosate and adjuvant to 22%-24% and 42%-44% for both populations of and , respectively. This improvement in efficacy could be attributed to the higher herbicide retention and lower contact angle of the glyphosate + adjuvant drops on the leaf surface compared to the glyphosate solution alone.
