管理資訊 有多種方法管理可用來消除貓爪藤(Macfadyena unguis-cati)，包括人工，化學和生物方法。 人工方法 ：人工控制貓爪藤(M. unguis-cati)是砍筏莖部和挖除根部。這種方法是不切實際的，除非族群非常小，因為此物種的生長模式(麥克蒙特, 1999)。 化學方法：有的地區使用草甘膦除草劑，已被證明是成功的(N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine)。在這些地區，從樹木上1.5公尺高的地方將此藤蔓砍除，再砍除地面的藤蔓。砍下來的藤蔓施以 1:1.5的草甘膦水溶液(阿喀琉斯, 2003)，或直接用草甘膦(麥克蒙特, 1999)。處理後的地區一旦開始活躍生長(通常3至6週後)，在葉面噴灑草甘膦混合表面活性劑，必須小心使用，避免傷害非目標植物。可能需要在初步處理後5年或以上，實施額外的葉面噴施，(跟腱, 2003)。這種方法不應該被用在生態敏感地區，因為可能會有除草劑漂移(麥克蒙特, 1999)。 生物方法：食葉蟲Charidotis auroguttata(Boheman)，葉吸蟲Carvalhotingis visenda(Boheman)和葉蛾Hypocosmia pyrochroma(Jones)都對貓爪藤(M. unguis-cati)有專一性。1999年C. auroguttata被釋放在南非，用來控制貓爪藤(M. unguis-cati)，2007年C. visenda被批准釋放到澳大利亞。每個生物控制劑都對貓爪藤(M. unguis-cati)有效，會優先吃貓爪藤，不會吃其他測試物種(Dhileepan, 2006； Dhileepan，Trevino, and Snow, 2007； Willimas, 2002)。在這些生物控制劑是否適合於其他環境，尚須仔細考慮每個地方的植物種類等因素。 文化教育：控制貓爪藤(M. unguis-cati)傳播的方法包括，只在經過批准的區域種植此物種，並且每年開花後加以修剪，以防止其蔓延(弗朗西斯)。                管理資源 /鏈接 1.
