Local harmfulness
Comoros: Teramnus labialis is an infrequent weed.
Madagascar: Its frequency in cultures is relatively low but can be very harmful (especially for upland rice), hindering harvest and post-harvest work and causing significant crop losses if it is not removed on time.
Mauritius: A weed rarely found in crops.
Mayotte: Teramnus labialis is a frequent weed, present in 24% of cultivated plots. It is very abundant in forage and pineapple crops. However, it can also be present in food crops.
Reunion: T. labialis is present in 10% of cultivated land, mainly in the sugarcane fields and, occasionally, vegetable cultivations and pineapple. This is a climbing species that tends to curl in canes bordering fields, but it is never abundant.
Seychelles: Low harmfulness.
West Indies: Teramnus labialis is a weed present in sugarcane, vegetable and food crops. It is moderately harmful to sugarcane.
