    • The biological control programme against several cactaceous weeds in South Africa, including Pereskia aculeata Miller, Harrisia martinii (Labouret) Britton and Cereus jamacaru De Candolle, was reviewed by Moran & Zimmermann (1991), who regarded these three species to be of minor importance. These authors reported on the release of two agents, Hypogeococcus festerianus (Lizer y Trelles) (Pseudococcidae) and Alcidion cereicola Fisher (Cerambycidae) against H. martinii and mentioned that A… CONTINUE READING
