14 Bio-control Agent Being Considered for Introduction to Australia A rust fungus Host-range testing may take two or three more years to complete

15 Boneseed Leafroller in NZ Releases: 2007-2008 12,500 Larvae 3080 Adults 36 Sites Establishment North Island: looking fairly promising South Island: not recovered after winter

23 Host-range Testing of the Boneseed Rust Began in 2007 in South Africa. Intracellular vesicle Penetration point Basidiospore Detached leaf assay

24 Whole plant inoculation trial, to run for 3 years - needed for witches’ broom symptom development

25 Stemphyllium/leaf roller synergy? -tip dieback
