Phenylphenalenones Accumulate in Plant Tissues of Two Banana Cultivars in Response to Herbivory by the Banana Weevil and Banana Stem Weevil. [PDF]

Plants (Basel), 2016
Phenylphenalenone-type compounds accumulated in the tissues of two banana cultivars—Musa acuminata cv. “Grande Naine” (AAA) and Musa acuminata × balbisiana Colla cv. “Bluggoe” (ABB)—when these were fed on by the banana weevil (Cosmopolites sordidus (Germ.) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)) and the banana stem weevil (Odoiporus longicollis (Oliver ...

Indigenous Management Practices to Reduce Pests and Pathogens of Cash Crops in Agroforestry Systems. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
The crop with the highest damages was cocoa (63.9% plants affected by black pod disease), followed by Fusarium stem rot was the second highest damage in crops (30.0% of vanilla plants infected). Insecticides and fungicides do not have a significant impact in reducing pest and pathogen infestation.

Farming System and Nematodes Affect the Rhizosphere Microbiome of Tropical Banana Plants. [PDF]

Environ Microbiol Rep
The banana crops showed a core microbiome of 77 ASV, mostly belonging to Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, and Bacilli. Specific groups of bacteria and fungi were linked to each nematode species or feeding group, with a core microbiome of correlated taxa found only when considering nematodes by feeding groups.

Farm Typologies of Banana and Plantain Smallholders: Agricultural Practices and Disease Constraints in Department of Huila, Colombia. [PDF]

Scientifica (Cairo)
Bananas and plantains (Musa spp.) are among the most widely cultivated crops in tropical regions and are consumed worldwide. These agricultural systems provide fundamental products in the Colombian basket of goods and generate the highest domestic rural employment.

Volatile organic compounds from entomopathogenic and nematophagous fungi repel banana weevil (<i>Cosmopolites sordidus</i>) under banana field conditions. [PDF]

PeerJ
Fungal volatile organic compounds (VOCs) with biological activity produced by entomopathogenic fungi (Beauveria bassiana and Metarhizium robertsii) isolated from banana fields (Canary Islands) and the nematophagous fungus Pochonia chlamydosporia, used in biocontrol of root-knot nematodes, repel the banana weevil (BW), Cosmopolites sordidus (Germar ...

Response of banana cultivars to banana weevil attack [PDF]

Uganda Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2016
East African Highland Bananas (EAHB) (Musa AAA, 'Matooke' group) are a major staple food in the East African region. However, banana weevil (Cosmopolites sorllidus) is a major production constraint to  bananas and may cause damage levels of up to 100%. Pesticides can effectively control banana weevil but these are unaffordable by resource poor farmers,

Field validation of senesced banana leaf extracts for trapping banana weevils on smallholder banana/plantain farms [PDF]

Journal of Applied Entomology, 2020
AbstractPalm wine alcohol extract of senesced banana leaf material, Musa spp., was tested for its efficacy in open field trapping of the banana weevil, Cosmopolites sordidus in Ghana from June to August 2015. Modified pitfall and bottle traps were baited with either individual treatments, that is palm alcohol extract, C.

Weevil Borers Affect the Spatio-Temporal Dynamics of Banana Fusarium Wilt [PDF]

Journal of Fungi, 2021
Dispersal of propagules of a pathogen has remarkable effects on the development of epidemics. Previous studies suggested that insect pests play a role in the development of Fusarium wilt (FW) epidemics in banana fields. We provided complementary evidence for the involvement of two insect pests of banana, the weevil borer (Cosmopolites sordidus L., WB ...

Volatile components of banana pseudostem of a cultivar susceptible to the banana weevil [PDF]

Phytochemistry, 1991
Abstract Volatiles from banana (‘githumo’'cultivar) pseudostem were trapped using porapak S. The trapped volatiles were desorbed from porapak columns by elution with dichloromethane and analysed using GC and GC-MS. The volatile compounds identified included α-pinene, β-pinene, β-myrcene, limonene, α-cubebene, α-copaene, α-cedrene, β-caryophyllene and

Making of bioethanol banana weevil as renewable energy

IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2020
Abstract In Indonesia where population is increasing significantly each year, managing the usage of fuels and searching biofuels alternative is an important thing to study. Banana is abundant in every region which resulted in waste. The fermentation of banana pseudo stem to bioethanol is interesting to proceed in mass production.
