Within European COST Action 816, a 5-year collaboration between scientists from 6 European countries has made an important contribution to the previously unstudied insect fauna associated with Amaranthus spp. in Europe. This provides a basis for future introductions of a non-native biocontrol agent into Europe. In addition, two promising microbial herbicides, based on the fungi Alternaria alternata and Trematophoma lignicola have been characterised. Further work on their use in integrated farming systems is required. The use of microbial herbicides in conjunction with new cropping systems, such as green cover crops or living mulch using Trifolium subterraneum is an approach which offers much potential.
