Abstract
Scotch broom, Cytisus scoparius, is an invasive perennial shrub that displaces desirable species in pastures, roadsides, and forestlands. The state of Oregon estimates that, annually, $39 million is lost primarily in the cost to control Scotch broom and the loss of timber production. Damage in Washington is likely similar. The ability of Scotch broom to form monocultures and its prolific production of long-lived seeds make it extremely difficult to control. Biological control, or biocontrol, is one management tool available to land managers and landowners.
