'Project Purple' program under way in Ontario
Small and similar to a ladybug,
they may well become known as
the purple eaters - eaters of pur
ple loosestrife that is.
The small, innocuous, exotic in-
sects technically known as galuru-
cella pusilla were intentionally re-
-.leased as part of "Project Purple"
a program to battle another alien
invader of Ontario's wetlands and
fields, purple loosestrife.
Until now, loosestrife, native to
Europe, has had no natural ene-
mies here and as it invades our
marshes, it displaces native plant
species on which wildlife depends
'for food and shelter.
Three years after their first con-
trolled release in Canada, the little
insects are expected to be a big
help in slowing the spread of the
beautiful but savage European
plant that has been taking over im-
iportant wetland habitat at break-
neck speed. Loosestrife has been
declared a noxious weed by gov-
ernment agencies, and hundreds of
municipalities are proclaiming or
recognizing Aug. 1 to 7 as Project
Purple Week in Ontario.
The Ontario Federation of An-
glers (OFAH) and Hunters is
among the groups leading the bat-
tle against the purple menace and
through its Invading Species Hot-
line, exotic species biologist Beth.
MacKay is keeping tabs on purple
loosestrife as it moves Across the
province. Through the Hotline,
Ontarians are encouraged to obtain
information and instruction on
how to, correctly control the purple
weed.
The invading species program
stresses education as well as active'
participation in controlling the
spread of purple loosestrife. It will
take a number of years for the bio-
logical controls to be effective, so
it is vital that we do our part to
control its spread now.
Since first being introduced in
the late 1800s, loosestrife has run
amok in wetlands across the conti-
nent. In Ontario it ranges from
Point Pelee •.ta»-Kapuskasing - and ,.
Cornwall to Windsor, but the good
news is biological control using
the insects is working. Rigorously
tested for seven years before being
released, galurucella pusilla lives
its entire life feeding and maturing
on purple' loosestrife.
"It basically leaves everything
else alone and needs loosestrife to
complete its cycle," said MacKay,
who is gearing up for the week-
long awareness campaign 'across
the province.
Galurucella pusilla is just one of
several biological weapons being
used against loosestrife.
The OFAH is encouraging eve-
ry community in the province to
launch control' efforts during Pro-
ject Purple Week. ' '
In July and early August the
plants are in full bloom, producing
2:7 million seeds each. •
• Meanwhile, purple loosestrife
crew members, with support from
the, Environmental Youth Corps,:
*Weedman, and local organiza-
tions, are hosting demonstrations
as well as ,hands-on projects to
stem the tide of purple, Members
of the publ ie Gan,. he�lp:;by cpogdi -
hating or volunteering for local r.
projects to curb' the spread of pur-
ple loosestrife. •
The easily recognized plant is in '
bloom during late July and early
August and has not yet produced
seeds.
