Chromolaena odorata (L.) R.M. King and H. Robinson is a herbaceous perennial belonging to the family Asteraceae (Compositae). It occurs naturally over a wide area of the tropical and subtropical Americas. from Southern Florida to the northern border of Argentina, and has become a serious problem in the humid tropical regions of Africa, Asia, and the Mariana Islands (Muniappan et al.,1988).
