Managing Hydrilla: Field Trials Using Biological and Chemical Control Technologies Alone and in Combination.

Abstract

This technical note describes the results of two field studies to evaluate the effectiveness of a granular formulation of the fungal pathogen Mycoleptidiscus terrestris (Gerd.) Ostaseski (Mt), against the noxious aquatic weed, hydrilla (Hydrilla verticillata (L.f.) Royle). The efficacy of integrating this biological control agent with herbicides to improve long-term management of hydrilla was also investigated.
