star this property answer text <p>Our research into an effective method of controlling Japanese knotweed (<em>Fallopia japonica</em>) continues. The Centre for Agriculture and Bioscience International (CABI) has successfully collected better climatically matched populations of the psyllid, <em>Aphalara itadori,</em> from Japan, and is currently evaluating it as a biological control agent for Japanese knotweed in the UK.</p><p>In 2021 we will continue to work closely with the CABI on researching and developing biological control methods for this species. Until such a method is found, long term management, using physical and chemical methods, and good biosecurity, to prevent spread, will remain essential.</p> more like this
