Other claims from this paper (6)
- Observation Parthenium has spread rapidly in Pakistan and now occurs in central and upper Punjab and some parts of North West Frontier Province.
- Observation Zygogramma bicolorata was found well established and damaging in the Changa Manga forest reserves.
- Recommendation Classical biological control appears to be the preferred option for long-term management of parthenium.
- Recommendation A strong need exists to link Pakistani and international institutes to implement a classical weed biological control program for parthenium.
- Observation The Australian biological control program released nine insect species and two rust pathogens from the tropical Americas against parthenium.
- Observation Several of the released biological control agents are causing significant damage to parthenium.
