Prospects for the biological control of Rosa rubiginosa (Sweet Brier) in New Zealand [weed of pastures]

Syrett, P. (Department of Scientific and Industrial Research, Christchurch (New Zealand))

The results of that work are summarised, and used in conjunction with information on the current status of the weed to discuss the benefits and difficulties of reactivating a biological control programme.
