    The Management Plan suggests this species may become as harmful as Prosopis, with which it shares many similarities. It recommends mapping the distribution of this species as well as assessing its invasive potential and control methods (Pickup, 1999 in Varnham, 2006).

    L' arrêté n°65 CM du 23 janvier 2006 dresse une liste de 35 plantes envahissantes déclarées "espèces menaçant la biodiversité" dont l' Acacia farnesiana. Ces plantes font l'objet de mesures d'interdiction d'importation nouvelle, de multiplication et de plantation, d'interdiction de transfert d'une île à l'autre de tout plat entier, fragment de plant, bouture, fruit et graine.

    Legally declared a threat to biodiversity in French Polynesia (Meyer 1998). Meyer (2000) lists this species as a dominant invader of dry sites.

    The best time for treatment is during autumn when plants are actively growing and soil moisture is good. Basal bark spray: For stems up to 15 cm diameter, carefully spray completely around base of plant to a height of 30 cm above ground level. Thoroughly spray into all crevices. Larger trees may be controlled by spraying to a greater height, up to 100 cm above ground level. At any time of year, cut stems off horizontally as close to the ground as possible. Immediately (within 15 seconds) swab cut surface with herbicide mixture.
