BioControl Agent Risk Assessment
• Objective- Quantify Risk to Non-target Plants
• Methods- Host Range Tests
– Fundamental (or Physiological) Host Range-
All plants on Which Organism Completes Life
Cycle
• No-Choice Tests
– Realized (or Ecological) Host Range- Plant Spp.
Actually Used Under Field Conditions
• Multiple-Choice Tests
– Realized Host Range Always Narrower than
Fundamental Host Range or Subset

Summary • Poisonwood Important Native Anacard
Sympatric with Brazilian Peppertree in South
Florida
• Calophya Psyllid Example Shows Fundamental
Host Range Does NOT Include Poisonwood
• Apocnemidophorus Weevil Example Suggests
Predicted Field Host Range Does NOT Include
Poisonwood
• Anecdotal Evidence from Nystalea Example
Confirms Field Host Range Since 1920 Does
NOT Include Poisonwood
– No Reported Attacks on Poisonwood or
Purple Mombin (S. purpurea)

Conclusions • BioControl Agent Release Decisions by USDA
APHIS Focus Almost Exclusively on
“Fundamental Host Range” or No-choice Data
• “Realized Host Range” or Multiple Choice Data
Essentially Ignored
• Conservative Approach is Safe One
– No Evidence of Bioagents Attacking Plants Outside
Fundamental Host Range
• Using Fundamental Host Range as the Only
Criterion Overestimates Risks & Limits the
Available BioAgents
– E.g., USDA Probably Will Not Recommend
Releasing Weevil
