Priorities of the Quad County/Colville Reservation Bioagent Project

 
  The following non-indigenous weed species have been identified as priority targets for biological control within Okanogan, Stevens, Ferry, and Pend Oreille Counties. Currently, there are biological agents certified for release in the United States that will attack Dalmatian Toadflax. The most effective agent is not abundantly available yet, but representatives of the Quad County Bioagent Project are actively pursuing its introduction into this area. There are no approved agents for use against Houndstongue, Yellow Hawkweed, or Orange Hawkweed in the United States at this time, but they are being studied. There are, however, biological agents presently used in Canada to fight Houndstongue.
