Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the organisms impacting waterhyacinth in the Panama Canal prior to the introduction of biocontrol agents, and to quantify their effects on the plant population. The purpose of this report was to present the procedures used, results obtained, conclusions drawn, and recommendations resulting from this study. The specific objectives of the study were to determine the complement of organisms that impact waterhyacinth in the Panama Canal, and to assess spatial and temporal variations in the abundance and impacts of these organisms on waterhyacinths in the Panama Canal.
