NAISMA Annual Biocontrol Summit

Successes in Biocontrol – Weed Management’s Silent Hero

This annual event shares the latest advances in classical weed biocontrol research with invasive plant managers and educators across North America, fostering connections between researchers and on-the-ground practitioners.

This year, the Classical Biocontrol Committee will highlight the often-overlooked successes of biocontrol—stories of meaningful impact that rarely make headlines. Our invited speakers include both broad-scope land managers and leading biocontrol experts, each sharing firsthand experiences of success—whether through measurable reductions in target weeds or through enhanced community engagement. With current decreases in funding, support, and federal biocontrol positions in the U.S., many potential future successes are at risk of being lost. These proven programs can serve as models for future programs and demonstrate the value of continued support for biocontrol efforts.
