Obviously, densities where it is native are not oppressive. Is there any information about what keeps populations in check where it’s native? It seems that a lot could be learned fairly quickly in Europe that would facilitate conclusion about the potential for biological control. With more effort, other discoveries are possible. The tendency is to look at visible parts of the plant, but there could be a whole complex (or one or two) of organisms that affect bulb health, as well. Artificial treatments (inoculations) with pathogens and insects could also be tested. It may be that, despite the ephemeral nature of the plant, there are organisms (pathogens?) capable of being in place at the right time and thus effective. That would make selection of test species for the U.S. easier. Also, one could look at related plant species (there might be way to test N. Am. relatives in the field, too) to determine non-target risk as well. There are some contacts in Europe that could possibly be connected to such a study.</span></b><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><b><span style='font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'> </span></b><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><b><span style='font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'>It seems worth looking into, Marc.
