“…Nitrogen present in the peat-based soil may have obscured effects of fertilization on plant growth, but this soil was used to simulate the arundo wasp production system, in which lownutrient substrates like sand are not practical. (Moran et al, 2013). Total percent Biocontrol Science and Technology 509 leaf blade N was up to 2% higher than that observed by Spencer, Ksander, and Whitehand (2005), but those measurements were made on tip leaves from year-old field shoots.…”

“…The arundo wasp reproduces parthenogenetically and colony output is 90% female ). The two source field populations were a mixture of four wasp accessions from southeastern France and Mediterranean coastal Spain, along with an adventive wasp population originally obtained from Laredo, TX, all released between 2009 and 2012 (Moran et al, 2013). Galled main and lateral shoot tips were dipped in paraffin wax to seal in moisture and shipped to the USDA-ARS Exotic and Invasive Weeds Research Unit in Albany, CA.…”
