Résumé

Mistflower is an introduced weed in south east Queensland, but is not under official control. It is a locally controlled weed in New South Wales. It was originally introduced as an ornamental, but quickly invades disturbed areas and reduces pasture production. Entyloma ageratinae is used in other countries as a biocontrol agent for mistflower.

Danger

Accidental introduction of a potential biocontrol agent. The fungus is host specific therefore unlikely to impact on native or other plant species.
