The silver-leaved nightshade is one of nine IASs identified by the European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organization (OEPP) as pests recommended for regulation as quarantine pests (none of the other eight species within the list are indicated as occurring in Morocco). Compiled from data available from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species (as of December 2012). This species is not listed within the GISD list. There thus appears to be some lack of coordination and synthesized information concerning the occurrence and status of IASs in Morocco, at least in terms of what is publicly available.
