Weed Science Society of America Invasive Plant Spotlight: Tropical Soda 
Apple Overshadows Some Agricultural Industries in the Sunshine State

The Weed Science Society of America is a non-profit, professional society 
that works to encourage and promote the development of knowledge 
concerning weeds and their impact on the environment. The Weed Science 
Society of America wants to educate the public about invasive weeds--such 
as the destructive tropical soda apple plant in Florida.

Lawrence, Kan. (PRWEB) January 21, 2008 -- Tropical soda apple. The name 
may not sound particularly threatening, but in its short time in the 
United States, tropical soda apple has created a veritable crisis within 
Florida's agricultural industries. From cattle ranchers to hay producers 
and grass seed harvesters, tropical soda apple has infiltrated the land 
these agricultural producers rely on and poses a threat to the economies 
of these industries.
