A Review of Some Invasive Plant Biological Control Programs
“In cases where non-native plants have become established and spread invasively, various programs have been developed to bring those plant populations to a more acceptable level. Those programs have relied extensively on the introduction of biological control agents to curb the rate of spread and reproduction of the unwanted plants.
The control agents are typically insects but sometimes plant diseases are also employed. The strategies can become very complicated with multiple factors including ecological agents that limit the effectiveness of the control agent and competing commercial interests.
