UC Riverside entomologist Dr. Richard Goeden reports imported Turkish moths, Coleophora parthenica, released in melon and crop stands to eat tumbleweed leaves. The program follows hundreds of moths from Pakistan and Turkey, while the Department of Transportation spends $500000 yearly to control the weed along highways, as tumbleweeds migrate from the Middle East into U S agriculture.
