| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses grub populations and purple loosestrife. States that "soil moisture is likely to be the main driving force in determining where grub activity will be greatest...Adult females look for sites that have just the right amount of soil moisture - if it is too wet, the eggs may not develop and if it is too dry, the tiny grubs may not be able to find healthy roots quickly enough after they emerge." Profiles purple loosestrife, stating that it "is an invasive plant species that has colonized many wetland areas throughout the Northeast [United States]...While it is pretty, it is invasive and it has forced out many native wetland plants in some areas." States that "it appears that the most common biological control approach for purple loosestrife is one of two Chrysomelid beetles that have become established in more than 30 states and eight provinces where loosestrife is a problem." |
