Pods collected by farmers to feed stock confined to kraals results in a decrease in seedlings and regeneration. The effects of poisoning encroaching Rhigozum trichotomum and Acacia mellifera as well as clearing road reserves, invariably results in collateral damage through the death of non- target species.

In Ethiopia, Plicosepalus sagittifolius can be found in coastal and deciduous bushland, Acacia and Acacia-Commiphora bushland and woodland. The most common hosts are Acacia mellifera and other Acacia-species, but it sometimes also parasitises on Albizia or Commiphora. The caterpillars of Iolaus jacksoni, Jackson's sapphire, feed on Plicosepalus-species, including P. sagittifolius.

This area is the ecoregion identified by World Wide Fund for Nature as Kalahari xeric savanna AT1309. Typical savanna grasses include Schmidtia, Stipagrostis, Aristida, and Eragrostis; these are interspersed with trees such as camelthorn (Acacia erioloba), grey camelthorn (Acacia haematoxylon), shepherd’s tree (Boscia albitrunca), blackthorn (Acacia mellifera), and silver cluster-leaf (Terminalia sericea). In certain areas where the climate is drier, it becomes a true semi-desert with ground not entirely covered by vegetation: "open" as opposed to "closed" vegetation. Examples include the north of the ZF Mgcawu District Municipality, itself in the north of South Africa, and the Keetmanshoop Rural in the southeast of Namibia.
