Efficacy and host specificity compared between two populations of the psyllid Aphalara itadori, candidates for biological control of invasive knotweeds in North America

open access: closedBiological Control, 2013
Invasive knotweeds are large perennial herbs in the Polygonaceae in the genus Fallopia that are native to Asia and invasive in North America. They include Fallopia japonica (Japanese knotweed), F. sachalinensis (giant knotweed), and a hybrid species F. x bohemica (Bohemian knotweed).

The life history and host range of the Japanese knotweed psyllid, Aphalara itadori Shinji: Potentially the first classical biological weed control agent for the European Union

open access: closedBiological Control, 2009
Abstract Japanese knotweed is a serious invasive weed in the UK, North America and large parts of Europe. Current control measures are difficult to implement, unreliable and expensive. In 2003, a classical biological control programme was initiated, one that could lead to the first ever authorised release of a biocontrol agent against a weed in the ...

Using life-history parameters and a degree-day model to predict climate suitability in England for the Japanese knotweed psyllid Aphalara itadori Shinji (Hemiptera: Psyllidae)

open access: closedBiological Control, 2012
Abstract Japanese knotweed, Fallopia japonica, is an invasive weed that is spreading rapidly in large parts of Europe and North America. To reduce knotweed density, the knotweed psyllid Aphalara itadori was recently introduced from Mt. Aso, Kyushu Island of Japan into southeastern England as a classical weed biological control agent.

Knotweed Management Strategies in North America with the Advent of Widespread Hybrid Bohemian Knotweed, Regional Differences, and the Potential for Biocontrol Via the PsyllidAphalara itadoriShinji

open access: closedInvasive Plant Science and Management, 2016
AbstractInvasive species with distributions that encompass much of the North American environment often demand a range of management approaches, for several key reasons. Firstly, the North American environment includes a large number of highly variable habitats in terms of climatic, edaphic, and landscape features.
