Controlling Hydrilla and Eurasian Watermilfoil With Fungal Pathogens from the People's Republic of China.

Abstract

This technical note describes screening of fungal pathogens collected in The People's Republic of China for efficacy on hydrilla (Hydrilla verticillata (L.f.) Royle) and Eurasian watermilfoil or milfoil (Myriophyllum spicatum L.). Results of this research will be used to determine the direction of future efforts in using classical pathogen biological control research for management of these two nuisance aquatic weed species.
