Abstract

Some general remarks on biological control of weeds in tropical crops are given followed by an account of a data collection/analysis programme on the biological control of weeds carried out at Silwood Park by members of the Commonwealth institute of Biological Control Imperial College ecology group and others under the leadership of C. Moran and J.K. Wage. An overview of the biological control of selected weeds was presented based on the accumulated data set and including the following species: Aqeratine riparia Eassia tora Chromolaena odorata Clidemia hirta Cordia curassavica Cuscuta spp. Cyperus rotundus Elephantopus mollis Eupatorium adenophorum Llantana camera Loranthus and other birdvines. Melastoma malabathricum Merremila pelata Mikania micrantha Mimosa spp. Pluchea adorata Psidium cattleianum Rubus spp. Shinus terebinthifolius Solanum spp. Scachytarpheta spp. Tribulus spp.
