<p class="" style="margin-left:0.5in"><span style="font-size:10pt;line-height:115%;font-family:Arial,sans-serif">Rush skeletonweed,<span class=""> </span><i>Chondrilla
juncea</i>, is a difficult to manage invader infesting over six million acres
in the western U.S. It is listed as a noxious weed in nine states (AZ, CA, CO,
ID, MT, NV, OR, SD, WA). Currently there are no approved biological control
insects for its management. The Montana State University quarantine laboratory
in Bozeman is addressing this critical need by conducting host-specificity
studies to characterize the suitability of the crown moth,<span class=""> </span><i>Oporopsamma wertheimsteini</i>, as
a new potential biocontrol agent for rush skeletonweed. To accomplish this they
need to test insects on potential alternate host plants that are not commonly
available on the seed or nursery market.<br>
<br>
We are requesting help in collecting seed or young plants, or identifying
collection locations for the quarantine laboratory. A critical needs list
of plant species is given below. The<span class=""> </span><u>very
high priority</u><span class=""> </span>plants for
testing are<span class=""> </span><i>Crepis</i><span class=""> </span>sp. and<span class=""> </span><i>Microseris nutans</i>. The<span class=""> </span><u>high priority</u>plants for testing
are<span class=""><i> </i></span><i>Krigia<span class=""> </span></i>sp<i>.</i>, but not<span class=""> </span><i>K. bicolor</i>. If you have seed of
these of these species or know of available plants or populations please
contact Jeff Littlefield at<span class=""> </span></span><a href="https://mail.google.com/mail/?view=cm&fs=1&tf=1&to=jeffreyl@montana.edu" target="_blank"><span style="font-size:10pt;line-height:115%;font-family:Arial,sans-serif">jeffreyl@montana.edu</span></a><span style="font-size:10pt;line-height:115%;font-family:Arial,sans-serif">.
