Description
Leafy spurge (Euphorbia esula L,) is a serious. toxic weed in the real Plains region of lhe USA and Canada where it is toxic to s9me; classes of livestock and displaces more desirable forage plants. Leafy spurge is also spreading widely in Inner Mongolia rangeland, but it does limited damage. Biological weed control scientists from China, USA and Canada have co-operated in a survey for natural enemies of leafy spurge.in Innc Mongolia rangeland where there is an abundant diverse assemblage of insects and pathogens , including: Aphthona , chln ch ichi, Apthona s.eriata, Oberea prob . erythrocephala, Chamaespecia sp. , Celerio (Hyies} Tleata (Esper); fungi:Endophylum sp., Melampsora sp.; Uromyces stratus, Erysiphe sp. All of these : species ' arc ' believed to have promise as biological agents.
