Abstract

Yellow starthistle (Centaurea solstitialis L.) is an invasive weed introduced from the Mediterranean region. It predominantly infests rangelands in the western United States. This second edition manual on the biological control of yellow starthistle is intended to give weed and land managers guidelines to develop and successfully establish a starthistle biocontrol program.
