Ostrinia palustralis memnialis is an oligophagous insect that feeds on the species of the genus Rumex . Continuous rearing of O. palustralis memnialis was carried out from 2004 to 2005, and its general biology was studied. The preliminary host specificity test showed a promising result for O. palustralis memnialis as a potential biological control agent for Rumex spp.
