| Description | Eriophyid-myte kom waarskynlik op die meeste hoër plante voor en is oor die algemeen baie gasheerspesifiek. Sommiges is skadelik genoeg om oorweeg te word vir biologiese beheerprogramme teen ongewenste plante. Algemene belangstelling in die gebruik van eriophyids vir onkruidbeheer het onlangs ontstaan en vyf spesies is reeds, meestal suksesvol, gebruik vir onkruidbeheer in ander lande. Eriophyid-myte is nog nie as onkruidbeheeragente in Suid-Afrika benut nie. Sewentien spesies wat simptome veroorsaak wat moontlik nuttig kan wees vir die beheer van 12 plantspesies, wat as onkruide in Suid-Afrika beskou word, word gelys en bespreek. Die onkruide is: Acacia saligna (Port Jackson), Acroptilon repens (Russiese dissel), Cardaria draba (peperbos cardaria), Chromolaena odorata (paraffienbos). Convolvulus arvensis (akkerwinde), Cuscuta epithymum (dodder), Hypericum perforatum (St. Janskruid), Lantana camara (lantana), Melia azedarach (sering), Opuntia inermis (doringturksvy), Solanum elaeagnifolium (satansbos), S. mauritianum (luisboom) en Spartium junceum (Spaanse besem). Sommige van hierdie eriophyid-spesies kan moontlik suksesvol as onkruidbeheeragente in Suid-Afrika gebruik word en derhalwe is verdere navorsing in hierdie verband geregverdig. Eriophyid mites are probably present on most higher plants and generally show a high degree of host specificity. A few are sufficiently damaging to be considered for use in control programmes against unwanted plants. General interest in using eriophyids for weed control developed only recently. Five eriophyid species have already been used, generally successfully, in weed control programmes in other countries. Eriophyid mites have not yet been utilized as weed control agents in South Africa. Seventeen species causing appreciable damage, which may be of value in the biological control of 12 alien, invasive plants in South Africa are listed and discussed. The weeds are: Acacia saligna (Port Jackson), Acroptilon repens (Russian knapweed), Cardaria draba (hoary cress), Chromolaena odorata (triffid weed), Convolvulus arvensis (field bindweed), Cuscuta epithymum (dodder), Hypericum perforatum (St. John's wort), Lantana camara (lantana), Melia azedarach (syringa), Opuntia inermis (prickly-pear), Solanum elaeagnifolium(silverleaf nightshade), S. mauritianum (bugweed), and Spartium junceum (Spanish broom). Some of these eriophyids warrant special investigation as possible weed control agents in South Africa. | |
