Summary: The BLM is proposing to release a biological control agent, J. ivannikovi, for the control of Russian knapweed (A. repens), as a demonstration control project. The BLM independently evaluated the Environmental Assessment (EA) Field Release of Jaapiella ivannikovi (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae), an Insect for Biological Control of Russian Knapweed (Acroptilon repens), in the Continental United States, prepared by the USDA APHIS in 2009, and found that it adequately addresses environmental impacts of the proposed action.
