Venter, N., Cowie, B.W., & Byrne, M.J. 2022 Prospects for the biological control of the invasive cactus, Opuntia stricta using Dactylopius opuntiae, under conditions of rising atmospheric CO2. Biological Control 176: 105095

Keywords:

biological control

Notes: Despite mortality of O. stricta plants grown at eCO2 due to D. opuntiae feeding, the long-term potential cumulative effects of reduced agent fitness and their subsequent efficacy may hinder the management of this IAP with rising atmospheric CO2 concentrations.
