Prosopis juliflora is one of the most popular damaging foreign species that are invasive harming the environment and the economy in arid and semi-arid environments. It is threatening pastoral and agro-pastoral livelihoods in particular as it spreads quickly through rangelands, croplands, and forests. Parts of national parks and wildlife refuges have been invaded by Prosopis, endangering biodiversity. Its quick spread throughout the environment is encouraged by several factors. Among the key factors are its adaptability to a wide range of climatic conditions, efficient mechanism for dispersal, allelopathic effect, prolific nature, presence of a significant in the soil ecosystem, there is a seed bank., and quick and strong coppicing abilities. Prosopis can have negative crop yield, animal and human health consequences, and the composition and diversity of plant species. The tree has potential uses for fuel, charcoal, fodder, food, bio-char, bio-control, windbreaks, shade, building and furniture materials, and soil stabilization, despite its drawbacks. Through carbon sequestration, it can also be used to treat various diseases and improve environmental conditions. On the other hand, effective control methods and management of this weed have been identified as manual, mechanical, chemical, biological, and utilization control methods. To get them under control, it is urgent to create management plans that are both economically and environmentally sound. Therefore, this review's goal was to investigate Prosopis' distribution, effects, advantages, and potential management strategies.

abstract = {Prosopis juliflora is one of the most popular damaging foreign species that are invasive harming the environment and the economy in arid and semi-arid environments. It is threatening pastoral and agro-pastoral livelihoods in particular as it spreads quickly through rangelands, croplands, and forests. Parts of national parks and wildlife refuges have been invaded by Prosopis, endangering biodiversity. Its quick spread throughout the environment is encouraged by several factors. Among the key factors are its adaptability to a wide range of climatic conditions, efficient mechanism for dispersal, allelopathic effect, prolific nature, presence of a significant in the soil ecosystem, there is a seed bank., and quick and strong coppicing abilities. Prosopis can have negative crop yield, animal and human health consequences, and the composition and diversity of plant species. The tree has potential uses for fuel, charcoal, fodder, food, bio-char, bio-control, windbreaks, shade, building and furniture materials, and soil stabilization, despite its drawbacks.
