Description

Exploration for biological control agents in east africa for guineagrass that facilitates the survival of cattle fever ticks in south texas - we propose a survey for new biological control agents of guineagrass in kenya to discover potential biological control agents for this pathogenic landscape forming invasive weed that enhances the survival of cattle fever ticks in south texas. Kenya is the native range of this weed and only limited surveys have been conducted. If new agents are discovered, further research, including full host-range testing will be proposed. Ultimately, new agents will be discovered, tested and released to control this invasive weed and reduce its impacts on south texas rangelands.
