Mikania micrantha and Merremia peltata both weeds of disturbed natural and forest areas, are regarded as the most widespread and problematic weeds of the Pacific Island Countries and Territories (PICTs). During regional consultations, where the PICTs tabled thier 10 most problematic weeds, M. micrantha was rated highly by PNG, Fiji and Samoa. These countries were chosen to pilot a bio-control initiative. The 3 year project submitted to the Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research (ACIAR) was officially launched in 2006 in PNG and Fiji (Samoa opted to stay out of the project at this stage). The project is supported by majority funding from the ACIAR with significant support from the European Union, AusAID and NZAID, and implemented by the Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC) in collaboration with the Fiji Ministry of Agriculture, PNG research agencies (NARI, CCI and OPRA) and the Queensland Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Water.The biocontrol agents being used are the nymphalids Actinote anteas and A. thalia pyrrha; and the rust fungus Puccinia spegazzinii.

L' arrêté n°65 CM du 23 janvier 2006 dresse une liste de 35 plantes envahissantes déclarées "espèces menaçant la biodiversité". Ces plantes font l'objet de mesures d'interdiction d'importation nouvelle, de multiplication et de plantation, d'interdiction de transfert d'une île à l'autre de tout plant entier, fragment de plant, bouture, fruit et graine. Leur destruction est autorisée. India
Sean Murphy at CABI Bioscience in Egham, UK has trialed a rust fungus Puccinia spegazzinii which attacks the weed in its native South and Central America. The fungus has been delivered to India after testing in England to check that it doesn't harm other Indian plants. It is now in quarantine, where it will undergo further tests before a planned release later in the year (New Scientist, 2003). Kerala
Herbicide trials in forest plantations showed triclopyr + picloram to give best results. Herbicide treatment was more cost-effective than manual methods (sickle weeding or uprooting) as a short-term control measure in this situation. Papua New Guinea

Staff at Samoa's Nuu Research Station, led by Mr Siosi Matalavea, Principal Research Officer, indicated that they would also welcome SPC PPS initiatives to work on the troublesome Mikania micrantha. PPS is putting a proposal to ACIAR for funding of a regional biological control research project on Mikania and, if the proposal gets the nod, work will be initially carried out in Samoa, Fiji and Vanuatu (Pacific Pest Info No. 51, August 2004).
