AbstractThe life-history of Dactylopius austrinus De Lotto on the weed Opuntia aurantiaca, is described. The male moults four times and the female twice. The instars are illustrated. Fecundity is shown to be a function of female density on the plant and of host-plant condition. The sexes were produced in a ratio of about two males to one female.

CASST™ herbicide (Alternaria cassiae,) has been shown to be an effective biological control agent for sicklepod ("Cassia obtusifolia LJ, coffee senna ("Cassia occidentalis L.) and showy crotalaria ("Crotalaria spectabilis Roth). Current research has shown the potential of this mycoherbicide for use both alone and integrated with other herbicides as an effective commercial control measure for these troublesome weeds.
