Description of Tested Tactic
The chloropid fly Cryptonevra igritarsis Duda infests young shoots of A. donax in its native range and it could be potential biological control agent
Description of Reference System
Individual young A. donax shoots (6–25 cm high) planted in pots with different levels of soil humidity were exposed to C. nigritarsis individuals and their mortality was compared to control plants,not exposed to C. nigritarsis, kept under similar conditions of soil humidity
