Asclepias syriaca is a perennial species, native to North America. In Romania, being introduced as an ornamental species, in present being found in different habitats (agroecosystems) and on ever wider areas causing damage. Although the basic biological characteristics of Asclepias syriaca are known, its control is a significant problem. As a result, we hypothesized that temperature and sowing depth can be used to reduce the population of Asclepias syriaca. To test this, the seeds were put at 5?C, 27?C, room tempe...

Multicolored asian ladybird Harmonia axyridis Pall. is a well-known aphid predatory species, of Asian origin. The species is classified taxonomically, at present, in the tribe Coccinellini family Coccinellidae. The species is considerate bivoltine, but may submit up to 5 generations/ year. The main role of the species is its use in biological control. A negative impact on potential benefits that accompany this coccinellid would be predation insects native to the same family. Current status of invasive species is t...
