Opuntia spp. were major weeds in Qld and NSW. The biological control program that ran from 1911 to 1939 resulted in the release of 20 biological control agents, with 14 reported as established, some of which appear to have subsequently died out. Cactoblastis cactorum and Dactylopius spp. are considered to be the main agents that controlled Opuntia spp.
