Bioagents are one tool in the fight against invasive plants, and they are intensly studied before release to ensure they won't switch to another plant. Bioagents for a variety of plants have been released throughout NWIPC's operating area this year, including Cyphocleonus achates, a weevil that feeds on the roots of spotted and diffuse knapweed. It will take a few years to see it's effectiveness, but the struggle against invasive plants is long-term work.
