Abstract

One of our most productive activities to save our natural areas is to
facilitate research that will make host specific biological controls
available. Insects that consume the non-native invasive plant species can
substitute for the controls where the species came from in the world. Of the
15 top non-native invasive plant species in the mid-Atlantic region three
(Pale and Black Swallowwort, Japanese Knotweed, and Garlic Mustard) now have
one or two non-native insects or fungi that feed on them being newly
released, are host specific and effective. Water Chestnut is coming soon.
Purple Loosestrife and Mile-a -minute continue to be controlled by the
bio-controls. The problem of bio-controls harming non-target organisms is
only about 3% as frequent as before the new rules of proving host
specificity went into effect about 20 years ago. Native and indigenous
bio-controls are also searched for in the range of the non-native invasive
species in America. With adequate research we can find bio-controls for
about 30 percent of our non-native invasive plant species. And we can reduce
our work for traditional cut, pull and spray by an estimated 30 percent. We
also help  native ecosystems in natural areas where there is no management
of invasive species.
