(Video) Deer roam over rolling hills at the Bob R. Jones-Idlewild Research Station near Clinton, Louisiana. These deer are more than picturesque; they’re part of the research effort at this facility. Scientists work to improve genetics and control disease of deer. Other research focuses on controlling aquatic weeds, such as giant salvinia. About 50 of the 1,800 acres at the station are devoted to peach breeding and blueberry studies.

(Distributed 10/02/12) HOUMA, La. – Dearl Sanders calls himself a bug chauffeur. The LSU AgCenter scientist is trying to move as many salvinia weevils as he can to combat the invasive aquatic plant giant salvinia, which is clogging waterways across Louisiana.
(Distributed 05/05/11) Two consecutive cold winters along with biological control using weevils have helped ease the giant salvinia problem on Lake Bistineau east of Bossier City. And more weevils are ready for distribution in a few months to areas in south Louisiana where this invasive, aquatic weed is continuing to be a problem, according to LSU AgCenter experts.
