Submissions sought on beetle to control moth plantSubmissions on being sought an application to import and release the beetle Colaspis argentinensis as a biological control agent for the weed moth plant Araujia hortorum. The application is being made by Waikato Regional Council. The moth plant has also caused gastrointestinal illness in humans in New Zealand, and the latex sap from the weed can cause skin burns. The application states that the larvae of Colaspis argentinensis burrow down to feed on the roots of the moth plant. Waikato Regional Council expects that root damage from the larvae will reduce the survival rate and abundance of the plant, reducing its competitive abilities with valued plant species. Submissions from the public are now being sought, and close on 3 November 2011. Read the full application. Hazardous Substances (HS)1 August 2011 to 31 August 2011 The applications and decisions in The Bulletin are for reference only. Full details and submissions forms are available on the Environmental Protection Authority website and may also be advertised in industry or specialist publications in certain circumstances.

You will need to nominate the types of applications that you are interested in.
