Abstract
The dock plant (Rumex spp.) is one of the most problematic pasture weeds worldwide. Allantus luctifer was selected as a potential biological control agent for Rumex spp. Continuous rearing of A. luctifer was carried out from 2005 to 2006, and its general biology is presented in this report. The preliminary host specificity test showed a promising result for using A. luctifer to control Rumex spp.
