Aquatic Invasive - Egeria densa (Brazilian elodea) permanent rule
In the spring of 2006 the state began the steps of regulating Egeria densa (aka Anacharis, Brazilian elodea, Brazilian waterweed) largely due to the presence of this plant in Griffy Lake in Bloomington. This plant has proven to be highly invasive not only in Griffy Lake, but also in a number of other private waters in Indiana. A temporary rule regulating the plant was put in place in late March 2006. Immediately afterward the state began the process of developing a permanent rule. Please see the following link which has the language of the permanent rule which became effective August 8, 2007. http://www.in.gov/legislative/iac/20070808-IR-312060570FRA.xml.html

Bagworms – George Brenn of Valparaiso collected some bagworm bags AFTER the bitterly cold weather in February to see if it got cold enough to kill the overwintering eggs. He reports bagworm bags did not die! The weather did not do the trick – this will be useful information for anyone involved in ornamental horticulture. George has notified Cliff Sadof of Purdue as well and Cliff’s comments are “You're my hero!!!. Thanks for letting me know about this. Now, at least we can prepare. Time to buy the Conserve, or Fertilome Borer and Bagworm Killer. – Cliff”
