Question 5 of 5
5. Question
Why is a plant called Prosopis juliflora often mentioned in news?
Correct
Solution (b)
Prosopis juliflora is a shrub in the family Fabaceae, a kind of mesquite. It is native to Mexico, South America and the Caribbean. A recent study has shown that apart from threatening local plants, with whom it competes for resources, this tree is also affecting the nesting success of birds.
It is a contributing factor to continuing transmission of malaria, especially during dry periods when sugar sources from native plants are largely unavailable to mosquitoes.
