“…For the augmentations of A. malherbae in Mexico, Rodriguez-Navarro et al [147,148] did investigate inoculation levels and quality standards (number of mites per gall, number of galls per plants, infested stems, etc.) required for the successful laboratory rearing of a biocontrol agent over multiple generations without loss of genetic diversity [149,150].…”

A classical biological control agent is an exotic host-specific natural enemy, which is intentionally introduced to obtain long-term control of an alien invasive species. Among the arthropods considered for this role, eriophyid mites are likely to possess the main attributes required: host specificity, efficacy, and long-lasting effects. However, so far, only a few species have been approved for release. Due to their microscopic size and the general lack of knowledge regarding their biology and behavior, working with eriophyids is particularly challenging. Furthermore, mites disperse in wind, and little is known about biotic and abiotic constraints to their population growth. All these aspects pose challenges that, if not properly dealt with, can make it particularly difficult to evaluate eriophyids as prospective biological control agents and jeopardize the general success of control programs. We identified some of the critical aspects of working with eriophyids in classical biological control of weeds and focused on how they have been or may be addressed. In particular, we analyzed the importance of accurate mite identification, the difficulties faced in the evaluation of their host specificity, risk assessment of nontarget species, their impact on the weed, and the final steps of mite release and post-release monitoring.

“…Chemical control of field bindweed or correhuela (C. arvensis), a highly problematic weed, has been frequently studied (e.g. Tamayo-Esquer & Gaillardon, 1989); also cultural control (Robles et al, 2006) and biological control with mites (Rodríguez-Navarro, Flores-Macías, & Torres-Martínez, 2008;Rodríguez-Navarro, Rodríguez-Morell, Alemán-Martínez, Flores-Macías, & Torres-Martínez, 2011;Rodríguez-Navarro, Torres-Martínez, & Olivares-Orozco, 2004) have been studied, but as far as we know, the biological control for this weed has not been generalized. The use of C. arvensis also has been explored for phytoremediation by heavy metal accumulation (Cruz-Jiménez et al, 2005;Gardea-Torresdey, Peralta-Videa, Montes, de la Rosa, & Corral-Díaz, 2004;Montes, Peralta-Videa, Parsons, Corral Díaz, & Gardea-Torresdey, 2013;Montes-Holguin et al, 2006).…”

“…Field bindweed is a global malignant perennial weed (Vasilakoglou et al 2013 ), which competes with many crops, including corn, wheat, beans, cotton, and vegetables, for water, inorganic salt, nutrients, and light (Rodríguez-Navarro et al 2011 ; Vasilakoglou et al 2013 ). The qualities and yields of the crops declined in areas where field bindweed occurred (Lindenmayer et al 2013 ).…”

Aspergillus leaf spot of field bindweed (Convolvulus arvensis L.) caused by Aspergillus niger in China

Leaf spot was found on field bindweed (Convolvulus arvensis L.) in Shihezi City, Xinjiang Province, China, during the summer of 2015. Pathogens were isolated from the infected leaves of field bindweed and identified as Aspergillus niger based on morphological and molecular analyses (internal transcribed spacer rDNA and β-tubulin gene). A pathogenicity test confirmed that Aspergillus niger caused the healthy leaves of field bindweed to become diseased. To our knowledge, this is the first report of field bindweed infected naturally by A. niger.
