Impact of nutrients and herbivory by Eccritotarsus catarinensis on the biological control of water hyacinth, Eichhornia crassipes [PDF]
, 2007 Many water hyacinth infestations in South Africa are the symptom of eutrophication, and as a result, biological control of this weed is variable. This study examined the effects of herbivory by the mirid, Eccritotarsus catarinensis, on water hyacinth ...

The decline of water hyacinth on Lake Victoria was due to biological control by Neochetina spp [PDF]
, 2007 There has been some debate recently about the cause of the decline of water hyacinth on Lake Victoria. While much of this evidence points to classical biological control as the major factor, the El Niño associated weather pattern of the last quarter of ...

The Florida Entomologist, 1991 Several insect pathogens were tested for infectivity against Neochetina eichhorniae Warner (Coleoptera:Curculionidae), a biological control agent for waterhyacinth, Eichhornia crassipes (Mart.) Solms. No mortality resulted from exposure to 21 strains of Bacillus thuringiensis.

Using Optimization and Simulation Techniques to Estimate Initial Weevil Populations [PDF]
, 1991 In this paper, a mathematical programming and simulation method is used to estimate the number of weevils (Neochetina bruchi Hustache, and N. eichhorniae Warner) necessary to initialize the INSECT model which simulates the biological control of ...

Invasive floating water weeds – killing life and commerce [PDF]
, 2017 Weeds by definition are plants that grow in the wrong place. When their seeds or other plant parts are transported to other regions where their natural enemies are absent, they can multiply unhindered.
