Review and status of biological control of clidemia in Hawaii View info about Adobe Acrobat PDF format
Efforts to control clidemia (Clidemia hirta) in Hawaii with phytophagous insects began in 1952. Several attempts have been made since then to introduce potential biological control agents to reduce the spread of this weed into forest areas, and other control measures have been tried by various groups and agencies. It was not until recently, however, through the enactment of significant legislation and subsequent funding, that explorations and studies were conducted specifically on clidemia insects in Trinidad, West Indies. Fourteen species of insects were evaluated. Studies indicated that several species were sufficiently host-specific to warrant introduction into Hawaii for the biological control of clidemia.
