It also discusses weed risk assessment to predict reliably if an introduced plant species will become weedy. The author further advises that governments should focus on assessing the risk posed by casuals and naturalized species and eradicating them where feasible rather than trying to predict weed status at the importation stage. In most situations, naturalization of invasive weed species may be irreversible and it is arguable whether any intentional introductions are acceptable.
