Kuliah Gulma dalam Perlindungan Tanaman - GULMA SIAM: biological, bahaya, dan manfaat

Siamese Weed or Kirinyu, or its Latin name Chromolaena odorata is one of the most dangerous wild plant species, especially because of its extraordinary adaptability. This plant can compete with plants, poison animals, and reduce biodiversity. However, research also shows that the ability of Siamese Weed to produce large biomass, especially its leaves, actually opens up opportunities to use it as a vegetable fertilizer, pesticide, and medicine. In this video, I will explain the biology, dangers, and benefits of Siamese Weed. Hopefully it will increase your understanding of natural resources that we actually have the potential to utilize. Enjoy watching. About the video: This video was made based on references/research results that can be accounted for. However, this video is not/cannot be used as a reference in research.
