Interaction between fungal rust Puccinia psidii and Australian weevil Oxyops vitiosa, on Melaleuca quinquenervia in Florida.
Rust fungus and Australian weevil, two naturalized enemies of melaleuca, compete for newly expanding foliar tissue and may antagonize each other's effects as biocontrol agents of melaleuca (Rayamajhi, M.B., T.K. Van, P.D. Pratt, and T.D. Center. 2006. Interactive association between Puccinia psidii and Oxyops vitiosa, two introduced natural enemies of Melaleuca quinquenervia in Florida. Biological Control. 37:56-67.)
Susceptibility of Melaleuca quinquenervia to Botryosphaeria ribis, a potential biological control agent.
B. ribis induces cankers on injured melaleuca stems (Rayachhetry, M.B., G.M. Blakeslee, R.S. and R. Charudattan. 1996. Susceptibility of Melaleuca quinquenervia to Botryosphaeria ribis, a potential biological control agent. Plant Disease 88:239-248.)
Histopathology of Botryosphaeria ribis in Melaleuca quinquenervia: pathogen invasion and host response
Cellular response of excised melaleuca leaves to B. ribis was studied (Rayachhetry, M.B., G.M. Blakeslee, and T. Miller. 1996. Histopathology of Botryosphaeria ribis in Melaleuca quinquenervia: pathogen invasion and host response. International Journal of Plant Sciences 157:221-229.)
Predisposition of melaleuca to invasion by the potential biological control agent Botryosphaeria ribis
Drought-stressed melaleuca are more susceptible to canker formation by Botryosphaeria ribis (Rayachhetry, M.B., G.M. Blakeslee, and T.D. Center. 1996. Predisposition of melaleuca (Melaleuca quinquenervia) to invasion by the potential biological control agent Botryosphaeria ribis. Weed Science 44:603-608.)
Evaluation of fungus-chemical compatibility for melaleuca control
Pathogenic fungus Botryospaeria ribis can be combined with some but not all herbicides to control melaleuca (Rayachhetry, M.B. and M.L. Elliott. 1997. Evaluation of fungus-chemical compatibility for melaleuca (Melaleuca quinquenervia) control. Weed Technology 11:64-69.)
Puccinia psidii attacks melaleuca
Biocontrol of invasive melaleuca with the rust Puccinia psidii may be considered after researchers discover a natural epiphytotic in Florida (Plant Disease, 1997).

Herbicidal weed control methods
for pastures and natural areas of Hawaii
This comprehensive review of herbicide application methods includes calculations for formulations, and appendices listing herbicides registered for use in Hawaii and their toxicities (University of Hawaii, 2002).
An analysis of the risk of introduction of additional strains of the rust Puccinia psidii Winter (ohia rust) to Hawaii
In April 2005, the rust fungus Puccinia psidii (most widely known as guava rust or eucalyptus rust) was found in Hawaii. It is important to ecosystem conservation and commercial forestry that additional rust strains or genotypes be prevented from establishing in Hawaii.
