Biocontrol agent: Entyloma compositarum
Status in Hawaii: No quantitative evaluations are available, but this fungus is considered effective against "Maui pamakani" (Ageratina adenophora). Fungal infestation of plants during wet periods coupled with the impact of previously introduced insects has resulted in other plants invading monotypic stands and in some cases replacing them.
