Notes
Not all spin-offs are harmless. Take the case of blue agave (Agave tequilana) a plant from which Mexicans make the liquor Tequila which was introduced to control erosion in southern Africa 10 years ago. A company in the Graaff-Reinet area in South Africa is distilling a Tequila-like spirit from it and selling it to passers-by on the N1 highway linking Cape Town and Johannesburg driving home the road s reputation as the most dangerous in the nation.
