Research Project:
REDISTRIBUTION OF MELALEUCA WEED BIOLOGICAL CONTROL AGENTS AND DEVELOPMENT OF NEW AGENTS FOR LYGODIUM AND VARIOUS OTHER WEED SPECIES
Location: IPRL, Fort Lauderdale, Florida
Project Number: 6629-22000-009-12
Project Type:
Reimbursable
Start Date: Feb 25, 2004
End Date: Feb 24, 2009
Objective:
Redistribute approved biological control agents for invasive weeds. Conduct overseas exploration to discover natural enemies associated with various weed species that impact U.S. agriculture and natural areas. Conduct quarantine host-specificity testing of potential biological control agents.
Approach:
Research will involve foreign exploration for new agents, testing for safety of potential agents, and redistribution of approved agents for biological weed control.
