BIOLOGICAL
PEST CONTROL IN AUSTRALASIA (Contacts) There has been
considerable biological control activity in Australia, New Zealand and
portions of Indonesia by governmental agencies. The pests subjected to
biological control in Indonesia, northern Australia and New Guinea were
exclusively tropical, attacking primarily oil and coconut palms, rubber and
cocoa trees and rice, although there has also been some effort against scale
insects on citrus. In Australia and New Zealand both tropical and temperate
zone pests have been subjected to biological control, some with considerable
success. Because of climatic and pest similarities between Australia western
North America, there were several cooperative projects between those areas. REFERENCES: <pooled.htm> [Additional references may
