Corps Field Operations Studies: Biological Control of Waterhyacinth in the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta,
Abstract
The purpose of the biological control effort in the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta is to apply biocontrol experimental technology in conjunction with chemical and mechanical methods to achieve rapid control of the waterhyacinth infestation. The objectives of the project are: Determine the necessary and sufficient means for establishment of a complex of biocontrol agents in the Delta to achieve rapid dispersal and buildup. Determine the rate of disposal and buildup of the biocontrol agents. Demonstrate the effectiveness of the organisms in conjunction with chemical and mechanical means for the management of waterhyacinth.
