Abstract Mussaenda philippica is a large shrub or small tree that is native to the Philippines and frequently cultivated as an ornamental in tropical regions. It can be found growing in parks, botanical gardens, private and public gardens and along roadsides and highways. Although plants in cultivation usually do not produce fruits, they can spread vegetatively by stem fragments and cuttings. M. philippica is a species of environmental concern because it can grow up to 8 m tall and has a wide spreading crown that may shade out other vegetation including native plant species.

Abstract Adonidia merrillii is one of the most popular ornamental palms worldwide. Native to the Philippines and Malaysia, it has been extensively introduced, mostly in tropical regions but also as an indoor plant in subtropical and temperate areas. Currently it is listed as invasive in Cuba, the Bahamas and Anguilla. On these islands, this palm species has escaped cultivation and is now competing with native plant species. Because A. merrillii is highly susceptible to lethal yellowing disease, it is considered a threat for the conservation of native palm species in the Bahamas.

Physical And Chemical

Exotic water primroses (Ludwigia spp.) are aggressive invaders in aquatic ecosystems worldwide. To date, management of exotic Ludwigia spp. has been limited to physical and chemical control methods. Biological control provides an alternative approach for the management of invasive Ludwigia spp. but little is known regarding the natural enemies of these exotic plants. Herein the biology and host range of Lysathia flavipes (Boheman), a herbivorous beetle associated with Ludwigia spp. in Argentina and Uruguay, was studied to determine its suitability as a biocontrol agent for multiple closely related target weeds in the USA. The beetle matures from egg to adult in 19.9 ± 1.4 days at 25 °C; females lived 86.3 ± 35.6 days and laid 1510.6 ± 543.4 eggs over their lifespans. No-choice development and oviposition tests were conducted using four Ludwigia species and seven native plant species. Lysathia flavipes showed little discrimination between plant species: larvae aggressively fed and completed development, and the resulting females (F1 generation) oviposited viable eggs on most plant species regardless of origin. These results indicate that L. flavipes is not sufficiently host-specific for further consideration as a biocontrol agent of exotic Ludwigia spp. in the USA and further testing is not warranted.
