- Summary
- The purpose of this study was to devise a system by which the New Zealand Department of Conservation (DOC) could determine those conservation weeds that are most suited to biological control, and to recommend a programme to identify and develop appropriate biological control agents for them. A scoring system was devised to predict the suitability for biological control of a group of weeds that achieved high scores for their impact on conservation values based on figures from DOC
