Summary The programme has provided some valuable insights into practicalities delivering a classical against weed European Union. In absence tailored legislation, licensing process was complex but not prohibitive. It involved production pest risk analysis (PRA; based on EPPO template), an application through national...
Abstract The Convention on Biological Diversity and the Nagoya Protocol establish that genetic resources shall be accessed only upon existence of prior informed consent country provides those benefits arising from their utilization shared. Pursuant to both agreements several countries have adopted regulations access benefit-sharing. These created a challenging obstacle classical biological control weeds. This paper reviews experiences Argentina, Brazil, South Africa, USA, Canada CABI in...
In Kenya, rice (Oryza sativa L.) is mainly produced under irrigation by small-scale farmers. Mwea scheme (MIS) in Kirinyaga County accounts for 80-88% of production. Here, the main source livelihood and a revenue generation county. However, recently established invasive freshwater snail, Pomacea canaliculata (Lamarck) (family: Ampullariidae), species apple presents serious threat to production.Household surveys, focus group discussions key informant interviews highlight snail as problem MIS....
Abstract Following reports of an invasive snail causing crop damage in the expansive Mwea irrigation scheme Kenya, samples snails and associated egg masses were collected sent to CABI laboratories UK for molecular identification. DNA barcoding analyses using cytochrome oxidase subunit I gene gave preliminary identification as Pomacea canaliculata , widely considered have potential be one most invertebrates waterways systems worldwide which is already issues throughout much south-east Asia....
Abstract Estimates of the economic impact invasive non-native species (INNS) are important to support informed decision-making and prioritise resources. A detailed estimate direct costs INNS Great Britain, covering many sectors economy impacts in diverse habitats, was made 2010 extended Northern Ireland 2013. These estimates increasingly out date as a result changes distribution species, new knowledge, management newly established INNS. We, therefore, updated estimated for United Kingdom...
Japanese knotweed, Fallopia japonica is an invasive alien weed causing serious environmental and economical problems in Europe North America.During field surveys Japan, a rust fungus was observed summer/autumn severe damage to the weed.This pathogen identified as Puccinia polygoni-amphibii var.tovariae based on morphology.The found from August December site at Kyushu University, Fukuoka Pref., Japan.Urediniospores were between October associated with defoliation of knotweed followed by...
Fallopia japonica(Japanese knotweed, Polygonaceae), native to Japan, has been a serious invasive perennial weed in North America and large parts of Europe, especially the UK, where there is an urgent need for classical biological control strategy. Surveys have confirmed presence specialized plant pathogens range Japan. The results surveys showed that three fungal diseases two rusts leaf-spot disease were predominantly common widespread field. These identified as Puccinia polygoni-amphibii...
The arrival of apple snail (Pomacea canaliculata) in rice-growing regions East and South-east Asia has had serious consequences for agricultural yields, livelihoods, biodiversity, natural ecosystems, human health. In Kenya, rice is mainly produced by smallholder farmers, with most the production Mwea Irrigation Scheme (MIS) located Kirinyaga County, where it a main income revenue source. 2020, P. canaliculata was identified MIS, this first record species Kenya. This could now present threat...
