SUMMARY:Biological control of introduced Phragmites australis in Ontario
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Dr. Ian Jones\, Research Associate in the Smith Forest Health Laboratory at the University of Toronto \nIntroduced Phragmites australis (hereafter Phragmites) is one of the most invasive plants in North America. Classical biological control represents an affordable\, and host-specific option to supplement existing management approaches. Dr. Jones will outline the process by which candidate biological control agents are selected\, screened for host specificity\, and released in their introduced range and provide an update of the Phragmites biological control program in Ontario\, and the plans for its expansion.
