摘要：

The pteromalid gall wasp Trichilogaster acaciaelongifoliae (Froggatt) has been successfully used to reduce the reproductive potential and vegetative growth of the invasive shrub/tree Acacia longifolia (Andr.) Willd. (Fabaceae) in South Africa. The success of this project is shown to be the combined result of certain features of the wasp, its host plant, and the interaction of the two. Practical features which contributed to the success of this project are discussed. Of the ecologically important features, some provide new guidelines for the future selection of gall-forming agents for weed biocontrol. © 1990.
