- Biological control of field bindweed is difficult1. There are no insects available that effectively control this weed1. However, there is a microscopic mite, Aceria malherbae, that can be used for biological control2. The mites infest the newest growth of the plant by forming a leaf gall, which initially reduces flowering and stunts the growth of the stems2. Effective control of field bindweed requires prevention of seed production, reduction of stored carbohydrates by deep tillage of the root system, competition for light from other plants, and constant vigilance in removing top growth3.
