30 Biological Control of Bitou Bush As mentioned earlier, bitou bush is a very difficult weed to control. In Australia there are no native animals or insects that eat the plant. This has allowed it to spread rapidly. Scientists at CSIRO have been 'investigating ways to control the weed without the use of chemicals or other costly solutions, such as pulling out by hand. Scientists have discovered two promising biological controls that attack bitou bush without apparent harm to native plants. A particular species of fungi and a moth have been identified in tests as being likely candidates for bitou bush control. The fungus, a native of Australia, has been successful in killing the bush within 14 days and seems to have little impact on the native species that grow in the coastal dunes. Meanwhile, separate tests have been conducted into a little known and unnamed species of tortix moth. The caterpillar of the moth, a native of South Africa, can completely defoliate the bush and appears only to eat bitou bush. 11. Which weed removal strategy appeals to you? Why? 12. Which of the philosophical approaches of Protection, Conservation, Utilisation, and Exploitation are relevant to the contemporary management of Coastal Sand Dune Ecosystems? Justify. 30
31 13. Evaluate the Contemporary Management Strategies on Coastal Dune Ecosystems? Score the strategy in terms of ESD.
