Sphagneticola trilobata is a creeping herb species of composite nature. Thestudy was designed to evaluate the invasion potentials due to several factors
to visualize the spreading nature with a view to quantifying the responses of
different management techniques of the Sphagneticola trilobata at
University of Chittagong. The task is followed in experimental design method
in field condition and randomized block design is done in several phages of
the experiments. The overall results show that Sphagneticola trilobata is an
invasive species in the study area and it is spreading fast in newer spots. The
rate of horizontal length and regeneration capacity of the species was
capable to cover the whole area within 1.51 years through faster sprouting
within 4 to 32 days against different control measures applied in the
experimental blocks in sites. The area covered by the species at University of
Chittagong related linearly with soil pH, plant growth and soil moisture in
linear regression model. The study recommended using the plant more in
medicine production rather than controlling. This species is of invasive
nature but proper utilization was considered as economic and autocontrolling
system for Sphagneticola trilobata.
