“…The weights of stages of A.longipes were in accordance with those of Baker (1976). In May 1975, hundreds of alate and dealate queens of AJongipes were found (with several workers and worker pupae) amongst a pile of timber.…”

“…For example, in Fig. These negative associations are known to represent direct biological relationships: competition for foraging area between the two ants, and harassment of Pantorhytes szentivanyi adults by Anoplolepis longipes causing the former to move out of the ant's foraging territory (Baker 1972). and this is known to represent a direct biological relationship because the latter parasitizes the former.…”

“…has proved expensive and difficult (Szent-lvany, 1961; Smith, personal communication). Baker (1972) suggested the use of crazy ant, Anoplolepis longipes (Jerdon), to control P. szentivanyi Marshall. He showed that P. szentivanyi adults were harassed by the ant and as a result dispersed out of areas newly occupied by A. longipes.…”

“…He showed that P. szentivanyi adults were harassed by the ant and as a result dispersed out of areas newly occupied by A. longipes. The occupation of cocoa by crazy ant is unstable (Baker, 1972), and further work is needed in order to be able to manipulate crazy ant populations (Smith, personal communication). Meanwhile, the use of crazy ant is being actively promoted in the Northern Province, and East and West New Britain Provinces.…”

The biological control of some insect crop pests in Papua New Guinea from the late 1950s to 1979 is reviewed. The pests are considered according to the crops affected, which include coconut, citrus, cocoa, coffee, legumes, rice, sugarcane, grain sorghum, cruciferous vegetables and forest trees. The distribution in Papua New Guinea of each pest and the damage it causes are briefly described. Potential biological control agents are discussed with reference to the effects of any past introductions and some comments on possible future use. The biological control of some weed species, in particular lantana (Lantana camara L.) and salvinia (Salvinia molesta Mitchell), the giant snail (Achatina fulica hammilei Bowditch), and cattle dung is also considered.
