Acknowledgments
We thank Monika Chandler, Minnesota Department of Agriculture, for
information and discussions on the biocontrol program of spotted knapweed conducted in
Minnesota, and Dr. Jerry Michels for information on Texas A&M studies. Our research on spotted
knapweed has been funded by the National Research Initiative of the USDA Cooperative State
Research, Education and Extension Service, grant number 06-03618.
