A. da  aInvasive Species in the Amazon.h[electronic resource]  c2019  aCap. 2.  aOne of the main reasons for environmental disturbances such as declination in pasture productivity and biodiversity losses is the high infestation of herbaceous weeds, generally referred to as ?Juquira? in the Amazon region. If they are not adequately controlled, such infestation might lead to degradation of pasture, resulting in complete loss of productivity and subsequent abandonment of the area. In this sense, this chapter aims to describe the main invasive species present in the Amazon region, as well as to characterize both the old and innovative techniques of use in agriculture, in large and small scale, for the control of agricultural pests.  aAgriculture  aAmazonia  aWeed control  aAgricultura  aInfestação  aControle  aPlanta daninha1 aLIMA, C.
