Potential impact of native natural enemies on Galerucella spp. (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) imported for biological control of purple loosestrife: a field evaluation

1996-08-01

Abstract excerpt

Can resident natural enemies impede the action of herbivores introduced for biological control of weeds, and if so, can their level of activity be predicted from tests that use resident herbivores as hosts? To examine these questions, exclusion experiments were done at three sites in central New York State which focused on the leaf beetle Galerucella nymphaeae in stands of the introduced weed, purple loosestrife (...
