The invasive weed Chromolaena oderata poses significant challenges for farmers and archaeologists by damaging crops and ancient sites. However, it has been identified as a valuable source of natural dye, offering a dual benefit: farmers can eliminate this troublesome plant while simultaneously utilizing it for dye production. This approach not only helps manage the weed's growth but also transforms a waste material into a profitable resource for dyeing, creating a sustainable solution for those affected by its invasiveness.
