Bioagent for Musk Thistle & Canada Thistle

     
             
         
   

 

Larvae infest the seed head feeding on the receptacle and seed tissue. This agent is extremely effective on musk thistle since it reproduces exclusively by seed. It is not as effective on canada thistle as it reproduces by and spreads by lateral roots.

 

Rhinocyllus conicus
