Each year invasive plants cost Australia billions of dollars through costs associated with their control and through lost agricultural production and degradation of native ecosystems. Two particularly damaging plants are gorse and broom. The problems gorse causes are so serious that it has been recognized as a Weed of National Significance (Federal Department of Environment and Heritage). Biological control efforts have seldom use native agents, and even less often, parasitic plants. This project will help to develop strategies for the control of two noxious species using a native parsitic plant.

每年，入侵植物使澳大利亚付出数十亿美元的代价，包括与控制入侵植物有关的费用，以及农业生产的损失和当地生态系统的退化。两种特别有害的植物是金雀花和金雀花。金雀花引起的问题是如此严重，它已被确认为国家意义的杂草（联邦环境和遗产部）。生物防治工作很少使用天然制剂，甚至更少使用寄生植物。 该项目将有助于制定利用本地寄生植物控制两种有害物种的战略。
