The role of overseas genetic surveys to potentially accelerate biological control development for a newHydrilla verticillataintroduction in the USA

Nathan E. Harms et al.

Summary: Documenting fine-scale plant genetic identity to identify potential biological control agents and utilizing concurrent plant genetic studies and biological control agent surveys can provide valuable information for controlling invasive weed populations. The discovery of a new hydrilla haplotype in the USA allows for targeted herbivore identification and potential agent development without the need for extensive surveys of native hydrilla populations.

Biological control of South African plants that are invasive elsewhere in the world: A review of earlier and current programmes

T. Olckers et al.

Summary: South Africa possesses a rich diversity of plants, with many endemic species, but has also contributed significantly to global plant invasions. A large number of South African native plant taxa have naturalized in other countries, with some being invasive in natural or semi-natural ecosystems. Efforts in biological control targeting South African plants are primarily led by Australia, with recent initiatives focusing on invasive plants of South African origin.

Progress and prospects for the biological control of invasive alien grasses Poaceae) in South Africa

G. Sutton et al.

Summary: Historically, invasive alien grasses have not been considered a major threat in South Africa, but there is a growing awareness of their impacts and the need for management. Researchers evaluated the potential for novel grass biocontrol projects against high-risk grass species, prioritizing five targets for control.

Field-based ecological studies to assess prospective biological control agents for invasive alien plants: An example from giant rat's tail grass

Guy F. Sutton et al.

Summary: Biological control of invasive alien plants is commonly assessed in quarantine, but rearing potential agents or test plants under quarantine conditions can be difficult. Field-based studies in the weed's indigenous distribution can provide a more realistic assessment of prospective biocontrol agents. This method offers an alternative when quarantine-based testing is not feasible, potentially reducing the number of agents imported and the time spent in quarantine.
