    This document provides information about the plants Bidens alba and Bidens pilosa. It begins with their scientific names and common English and Chamorro names. It then discusses their origin in the Americas, worldwide distribution, history and impact on Guam, uses, and methods for prevention and control. Key points are that they are invasive weeds native to the Americas, spread easily via seeds which can remain viable for years, and are very common throughout Guam where they outcompete native plants. Physical and chemical control methods include hand pulling, mowing, herbicides, and plowing.

    History on Guam
    Impact

    Single Plant can produce 6,000 seeds

    High rate of Germination

    Seed can Remain Viable in the soil up to 5 years

    roots and leaves secrete chemicals that can


    suppress the growth of other plants and remain
    potent even after the plant has died.

    Dispersal

    often the first to appear after a disturbance, such as fire,


    flood, or land clearing.

    dispersed long distances via hitchhiking seeds

    barbed seeds attach to clothing, hair, fur, feathers, and
