“…In extreme cases, an understory could be irreversibly dominated by undesirable non-native species which has been shown to happen with repeated fertilizer application in prairie restoration applications (Wilson and Pinno 2013). However, M. perforata may be less of a concern on nitrogen-poor sites because it is sensitive to reduced resource availability and is therefore a poorer competitor on these sites (Woo et al 1991). The decreased aboveground biomass response in the nitrogen-poor PMM and the proportion of biomass when grown with V. americana on PMM demonstrate this trend for M. perforata.…”

“…V. americana is also a nitrogen-fixing legume which may allow it to grow well on nutrient-poor soils or facilitate the growth of other species as has been found for other vetch species (Paul et al 1971;Tosti et al 2010). Matricaria perforata is an introduced weedy species that reproduces by seed and can survive in a variety of different climates and site types, especially those that are heavily disturbed such as new reclamation areas (Woo et al 1991). Fertilization could potentially facilitate invasion by M. perforata and contribute to its success on a site due to its strong positive growth response to nitrogen availability (Kim et al 2006).…”

Growth and competition among understory plants varies with reclamation soil and fertilization

Introduction: Following oil sands mining in Alberta, Canada, the main land management goal is to establish a functioning boreal forest ecosystem, including the understory plant community. One of the challenges with restoring the understory is the presence of non-native species that compete with desirable native species for resources. In a greenhouse experiment, we studied the growth of two native understory species (Galium boreale and Vicia americana) and a non-native invasive species (Matricaria perforata) grown with either intra-or interspecific neighbors across three common land reclamation soils and a nitrogen fertilizer treatment. Results: When grown by itself, V. americana aboveground biomass did not differ among soil or fertilizer treatments, likely due to its ability to fix nitrogen. Growth of M. perforata was directly related to soil nitrogen, and it had the greatest increase in biomass with fertilization. Growth and biomass of G. boreale was less than the other species, and it had the highest mortality in the nitrogen-poor soil. When grown together, the proportional biomass of M. perforata and V. americana varied with soil treatment such that M. perforata was dominant in the high-nitrogen forest floormineral mix treatment while V. americana was dominant in the low-nitrogen peat-mineral mix. Conclusions: Operationally, care should be taken when applying fertilizer to reclamation areas, as it may have an unwanted positive effect on growth for undesirable non-native plants at the expense of native species. In terms of seed mixtures, V. americana may be a good option for low inorganic nitrogen resource soils and G. boreale for high nitrogen resource soils.

“…In Canada, both weeds are widespread (Darbyshire 2003), including major canola production areas of Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta (Donald 1990;Woo et al 1991). In these provinces and in Ontario and Quebec, where canola is also grown, another ceutorhynchine, the invasive alien cabbage seedpod weevil, Ceutorhynchus obstrictus (Marsham), is a serious pest of canola (Dosdall and Mason 2010).…”

European ectoparasitoids of two classical weed biological control agents released in North America

Abstract-The ceutorhynchine weevils Hadroplontus litura (F.) and Microplontus edentulus (Schultze) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), are established in North America as biological control agents for Canada thistle, Cirsium arvense (L.) Scop., and scentless chamomile, Tripleurospermum perforatum (Mérat) M. Lainz (Asteraceae), respectively. In North America, both weeds occur sympatrically and in similar habitats as another ceutorhynchine, Ceutorhynchus obstrictus (Marsham) (cabbage seedpod weevil), an important pest of canola, Brassica napus L., and Brassica rapa L. (Brassicaceae). Ceutorhynchinae weevils released to control weeds in cultivated crops may serve as alternate hosts if agents released for biological control of C. obstrictus are not specific to that species. Parasitoids associated with M. edentulus and H. litura inflict similar levels of mortality on their hosts, yet a single species was associated with the latter host, whereas 13 species attacked the former. The stem-mining M. edentulus appears to be at some risk but not the root-crown feeding H. litura, should the parasitoids Trichomalus perfectus (Walker) and Mesopolobus morys (Walker) (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) be introduced as biological control agents of the silique-feeding C. obstrictus. These findings suggest that feeding niche may be an important criterion for developing a nontarget species test list for host-range testing of potential biological control agents. Résumé-Les charançons Hadroplontus litura (F.) et Microplontus edentulus (Schultze)(Coleoptera : Curculionidae) sont établis en Amérique du Nord comme agents de lutte biologique contre le chardon des champs (Cirsium arvense (L.) Scop.) et la matricaire inodore (Tripleurospermum perforatum (Mérat) M. Lainz (Asteraceae)), respectivement. Ces deux mauvaises herbes sont sympatriques et poussent dans des milieux semblables à ceux occupés par le charançon de la graine du chou (Ceutorhynchus obstrictus (Marsham)), important ravageur du canola (Brassica napus L., Brassica rapa L. (Brassicaceae)) en Amérique du Nord. Les charançons de la sous-famille des Ceutorhynchinés lâ chés dans les cultures pour lutter contre les mauvaises herbes peuvent aussi servir d'hô tes aux agents de lutte biologique utilisés contre le C. obstrictus si ces agents ne sont pas spécifiques à ce ravageur. On a observé que des parasitoïdes associés à M. edentulus et H. litura ont entraîné des taux de mortalité similaires chez leurs hô tes, mais qu'une seule espèce de parasitoïde était associée à H. litura, tandis que 13 espèces attaquaient M. edentulus. Microplontus edentulus, mineur des tiges, serait menacé alors que H. litura, qui s'attaque au collet, ne le serait pas si les parasitoïdes Trichomalus perfectus (Walker) et Mesopolobus morys (Walker) (Hymenoptera : Pteromalidae) étaient introduits comme agents de lutte biologique contre C. obstrictus, qui s'attaque aux siliques. Ces résultats laissent penser que la niche alimentaire pourrait être un critère important dans l'éta-blissement de listes d'espèces non ciblées à cons...
