Lantana is a devil of a weed, truly—it chokes our native saplings through allelopathy, meaning it releases chemicals to poison the soil around it. Removal costs run 15,000 to 30,000 rupees per hectare, but that's just the bill; the real cost is it grows back from any leftover root. I know because I've seen my beat guards exhaust themselves clearing a patch, only for the monsoon to bring it all back thicker, while the villagers just want the forest back for their cattle.
