Use of a trap garden to find additional genetically distinct isolates of the rust fungus Phragmidium violaceum to enhance biological control of European blackberry in Australia
2011-10-01
Abstract excerpt
Biological control agents can be more effective if their populations are genetically diverse, particularly when the target invasive plant comprises a range of genotypes with different susceptibilities and occurs across various microclimates. We report on the use of an efficient approach to find, in the native range, diverse isolates of a rust fungus for biological control. An outdoor trap garden containing various...
