Chromolaena odorata is native to tropical America and has been reported as one of the world’s most invasive species in the humid tropics and subtropics. As an attempt to generate information useful for preventing and controlling the weed in grassland area, the spreads, impacts and controls of the weed are reviewed. Some attributes that contribute to its success as invader weed were described. Its impacts, both negative and positive on grassland ecosystem were presented. Possible solutions to prevent the spread of the weed and its control in grassland area were also discussed.
