Leafy spurge is a noxious invasive weed that can be found in pastures and hay fields in Saskatchewan and many parts of North America. It chokes out surrounding vegetation and reduces healthy forage stands, wreaking havoc on biodiversity and reducing grazing potential in the areas it invades. In this video you'll learn about a biological control method for managing leafy spurge. Biocontrol is a weed control method that leverages natural predators of the plant. Come along as I capture and release spurge beetles in this video. Spurge beetles have been introduced to North America as an insect predatory to help control the spread of this invasive weed. Stopping the spread of leafy spurge requires a long term management plan. There is no silver bullet for this big bad wolf!
