The present study aims to deal with impact of invasive alien plants species of families Convolvulaceae, Fabaceae and Amaranthaceae in Rajouri district (J&K, India) with background information on habit and nativity. A total of 07 invasive alien plant species have been recorded, which include Ipomoea carnea (Jacq.), Ipomoea pes-tigridis (Linnaeus), Ipomoea purpurea (L.) Roth, Leucaena leucocephala (Lam.) de Wit, Cassia tora (Linnaeus) Chenopodium album (Linnaeus), Alternanthera philoxeroides (Mart.) Griseb. The result reveals that most species have been introduced unintentionally through trade, agriculture and other anthropogenic activities. There is utmost need of proper methods for early detection to control and reporting of infestations of spread of new and naturalized weeds.
