ANIMAL
AND PLANT INVASIONS Worldwide

The
global dissemination of commercial products continues to favor accidental
invasions of agricultural, urban and medical pests to areas where natural
controls may be inadequate. The
search and importation of harmless biological control agents are often
required when chemical or cultural controls are ineffective. Following is a list of harmful or annoying
arrivals in California and other world sites that may require seeking natural
control agents. Some of those
invaders noted here have already been studied for biological control or they
may have broken away from previously successful natural enemies due to
changes in the environment or pest management. |
