“…In recent years, CBC programmes have been implemented against a small number of invasive alien plant species in the EPPO region. Such programmes have included the control of Reynoutria japonica (formerly Fallopia japonica ; Japanese knotweed) using the psyllid Aphalara itadori (Shinji) (Hemiptera: Aphalaridae) (Djeddour & Shaw, 2010); the control of Acacia longifolia (Sydney golden wattle) using the gall forming wasp Trichilogaster acaciaelongifoliae (Froggatt) (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) (López‐Núñez et al., 2021); the control of Crassula helmsii (Australian stonecrop) using the mite Aculus crassulae Knihinicki & Petanović & Cvrković & Varia (Acarida: Eriophyidae) (Varia et al., 2022); and the control of Hydrocotyle ranunculoides (floating penny‐wort) using the weevil Listronotus elongatus (Hustache) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) (Walsh & Maestro, 2017). Additionally, a fungal BCA, Puccinia komarovii var.…”

Specific scope: This Standard describes the procedure for evaluating the host specificity of non-indigenous (classical) invertebrate and fungal biological control agents (BCAs) for use against invasive alien plants. The Standard covers guidance and best practice on the essential elements of this procedure, including taxonomic confirmation, life cycle studies, the optimal conditions to maintain BCAs, selection and maintenance of test plants, and host specificity tests.

Aquatic environments are widely affected by anthropogenic activities and efficient remediation of these areas requires detailed studies for each natural ecosystem. This research aimed to evaluate the natural phytoremediation potential of Hydrocotyle ranunculoides L., a floating aquatic macrophyte located in a polluted aquatic environment in South of the Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Nutrients such as P, K, Ca, Mg, and S and heavy metals such as Cu, Zn, Fe, Mn, Na, Cd, Cr, Ni, Pb, Al, As, Co, and V content in the roots and shoots of the plants were evaluated through nitric perchloric acid digestion (HNO-HClO) methods and quantified by ICP-OES. Bioconcentration factor (BCF), translocation factor (TF), plant effective number (PEN), and potential phytoremoval (mg m) were carried out. H. ranunculoides showed a substantial ability for phytoextracting P, Na, and As, since showed ability of uptake these elements from the water and translocate them to the shoots of the plants. H. ranunculoides also showed potential for application in rhizofiltration of Mg, S, Cu, Zn, Fe, Mn, Cd, Cr, Ni, Pb, Al, and V, since exhibited high potential to uptake higher levels in the roots. The highest potential for bioremoval (mg m) of the H. ranunculoides was detected for K, Ca, P (recommending thus the use for phytoextraction), Fe, and Al (highly recommended for rhizofiltration). Therefore, this species under study showed high potential for in situ phytoremediation at Santa Bárbara stream, and as a widespread species, it might be tested for phytoremediation in other sites.
