Support releasing and monitoring of… (AP26PPQFO000C216) – Cooperative Agreement to Oregon Dept Of Agriculture

Purpose: The purpose of this agreement is to support releasing and monitoring of recently permitted biocontrol agents for dyers woad, garlic mustard, hoary cress, houndstongue, oxeye daisy, russian thistle, tree of heaven, yellow starthistle and yellow toadflax. Oregon department of agriculture (ODA) will conduct pre-release monitoring, establish pre-release sites, releases agents (when available), and conduct post-release monitoring. ODA will maintain a supply of host plant material for acquiring new agents for lab rearing purposes.
Activities: Garlic mustard weevil (ceutorhynchus scrobicollis): oregon department of agriculture (ODA) will continue pre-release monitoring for the newly permitted agent at two pre-determined sites; monitor and identify one new potential release site. Hoary cress mite (aceria drabae): ODA will maintain a crop of 20 host plants for lab rearing needs in anticipation of agent availability for starting a lab colony; conduct pre-release monitoring of 15 permanent transects at potential release sites; requested releases of aceria drabae from montana state university for oregon release locations and/or lab rearing; coordinate release of agents with montana cooperators when montana field release sites are collectable, and agents are available; coordinate with local partners, make releases, collect release data and keep release records if releases occur. Houndstongue weevil (mogulones borraginis): conduct pre-release monitoring for mogulones borraginis in anticipation of future permitting. Oxeye daisy moth (dichrorampha aeratana): monitor and identify two new potential release sites in anticipation of future permitting. Russian thistle mite (aceria salsolae): maintain a crop of 20 host plants for lab rearing needs in anticipation of agent availability for starting a lab colony; conduct pre-release monitoring at potential release sites; requested releases of aceria salsolae from USDA-ARS-isphru invasive species and pollinator health in california for oregon release locations and/or lab rearing; coordinate release of agents with california cooperators when agents are available; and coordinate with local partners, make releases, collect release data and keep release records if releases occur. Deliverables and expected outcomes: dyer's woad weevil (ceutorhynchus peyerimhoffi): conducted pre-release monitoring for petitioned agent at 2 potential release sites. Garlic mustard weevil (ceutorhynchus scrobicollis): conducted pre-release monitoring at 2 pre-determined potential release sites for the newly permitted agent in NW oregon; and conducted pre-release monitoring at a new potential release site. Hoary cress mite (aceria drabae): maintain 20 greenhouse plants as a readiness effort for lab rearing; pre- release monitoring at predetermined release sites completed; requested and potentially received agents for field release and/or greenhouse rearing; and conducted post release monitoring at release sites if agents are released. Houndstongue weevil (mogulones borraginis): pre-release monitoring for petitioned agent release at 3 predetermined sites completed. Oxeye daisy moth (dichrorampha aeratana): pre-release monitoring for petitioned agent at 2 potential release sites completed. Russian thistle mite ((aceria salsolae): maintain 20 greenhouse plants as a readiness effort for lab rearing; pre- release monitoring at predetermined release sites completed; requested and potentially received agents for field release and/or greenhouse rearing; and conducted post release monitoring at release sites if agents released. Tree of heaven trunk weevil (eucryptorrhynchus brandti): pre-release monitoring for petitioned agent at 2 potential release sites completed. Yellow starthistle weevil (ceratapion basicorne): maintain greenhouse colonies of 200 host plants for lab rearing; lab rear ceratapion basicorne colony to produce second generation of oregon lab reared weevils; conducted pre-release monitoring in anticipation of 2027 or 2028 field release; and obtain training as needed. Intended beneficiary(IES): these efforts directly support and assist federal, state, county, and private noxious weed control cooperators as well as the public and private land managers who are impacted by noxious weeds. Subrecipient activities, if known or specified at the time of award: n/a financials: personnel = $23,706; fringe = $13,275; supplies = $1 ,455; travel = $3,740; indirect = $7,824
