Biological Control of Weeds: Is it Safe?

Carey Minteer, Eutychus Kariuki, and James Cuda

Invasive plants are non-native plant species that cause harm in their introduced range. Classical biological control of invasive plants is the use of natural enemies, imported insects and mites or pathogens, to control the target plants. This publication explains the strategies and rules in place to ensure that organisms released for the biological control of weeds are safe and effective.

Hydrilla Integrated Management

Jennifer L. Gillett-Kaufman, Verena-Ulrike Lietze, and Emma N.I. Weeks

The purpose of this book, published in August 2014, is to deliver up-to-date information on hydrilla management tactics that are available for developing hydrilla integrated management plans. Once introduced into a freshwater body, the invasive aquatic plant hydrilla (Hydrilla verticillata [L.f.] Royle) can cause damaging infestations that impact stakeholders from various user groups with different interests in the affected water body. These user groups range from lakefront homeowners to recreational visitors to aquatic plant managers to businesses that support ecotourism.
