Abstract: Alternanthera philoxeroides is one of the first batches which have been classified as invasive species, which causes serious damage and distributes widely in many parts of our country. The research progress on utilization and biological control of A. philoxeroides in recent years was reviewed. The utilization of A. philoxeroides was embodied in the fields of agriculture, pollution control, medicine and teaching research. Biological control of A. philoxeroides was expound in two aspects of natural enemies control and microbial control, and suggestions were made about the invasive species by the resource utilization and biological control.
