Bio-control is a viable option for dealing with some noxious weeds that have grown out of control. If the infestation is still small or just getting started, bio-control is not the best solution.
Colorado Department of Agriculture sponsors the Colorado Insectary in Palisade, Colorado. At the Insectary they are conducting research to find organisms to help in the control of specific noxious weeds and troublesome insects. On these pages they discuss the bio-control agents that are available for the different weed species. Their contact/order form is also available.
If there are any bio-control agents that you would like to try, please contact the Weed Division office at 970-304-6496 ext. 3770. This way we can work together on implementing a bio-control program in the County.
