The USGS is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research in the following research area:
investigation of impacts of biological control and other plant-insect interactions on whitetop mustard (Lepidium draba) and similar weeds such as Russian knapweed in the Rocky Mountain region.
The
research will be used to improve assessments of biocontrol efficacy and to establish a baseline prior to the USDA-led release of a novel biocontrol agent for Lepidium draba.
