What/who is CABI?
Formerly the Commonwealth Agriculture Bureaux International, Origins back to 1910.
UN-Treaty level, not-for profit intergovernmental organisation owned by its 45 member countries
CABI includes the former International Institute of Biological Control (IIBC) and 3 other institutes

•What about the really big problems we already have?

3 Categories of Biological Control
Conservation - Protection and maintenance of existing Natural Enemies (NEs)
Classical - Using Co-evolved (highly specific) NEs from the area of origin of the plant to provide self-sustaining control after a single release.
Inundative - a.k.a the “Mycoherbicide Approach” using native pathogens for repeated application

Is It Safe?
Over 1,000 releases of biocontrol agents around the world
>350 agents against 133 target weeds
A century of research
Any non-target effects are predictable by the vigorous safety testing
An International code of conduct
8 examples of “non-target” effects (7 of which predicted or predictable with current approaches)

Often hard to tell apart.

Life cycle
•Microcyclic or reduced life cycle - only functional spores are spermatia and ascospores
•Primary source of infection is ascospores, no anamorph or macroconidial stage found
•No ascomata produced in vivo or in vitro despite varied humidity regimes+agar media trials
•Mycelial infection found to be comparable in lab

Ex P. hydropiper host
Ex F. japonica host
Can rear through on P. hydropiper but produced very small offspring – too few to establish a culture.
Only ever seen on Japanese knotweed in Japan even when populations were very high indeed

Aphalara summary
Still happy in culture in the UK
87 species / varieties used so far, 3 rare spp. to go
145,172 eggs followed, 928 (0.64%) laid on non-targets but no development
Nymph transfer development studies and target-absent oviposition studies largely support findings
Adult no-choice starvation studies show very restricted range

Background
Hydrocotyle ranunculoides is a serious invader of water bodies in the UK
It is banned in Holland and a recent addition to the EPPO alert list
50km stretch was identified in Leicestershire canal
Control is extremely difficult and the plant is still spreading
