Field Evaluation of Different Trapping Methods for Sustainable Management of Banana Pseudostem Weevil (Odoiporus longicollis Olivier) in Sugandhi Banana

Journal of Advances in Biology & Biotechnology
The banana pseudostem weevil (BPW), Odoiporus longicollis Olivier (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), is a major internal borer pest of banana causing severe yield losses due to its concealed feeding habit within the pseudostem. Conventional chemical control is

Banana weevil borer control in south-eastern Queensland

Australian Journal of Experimental Agriculture, 1995
Banana weevil borer Cosmopolites sordidus (Germar) is the main insect pest of bananas in south-eastern Queensland and northern New South Wales. Four trials were conducted over 3 years to test current and new pesticides and 2 species of entomopathogenic nematode Heterorhabditis zealandica Poinar (strain 327) and Steinernemu carpocapsae (Weiser) (strain ...

Relationships between nematodes, weevils, banana and plantain cultivars and damage

Annals of Applied Biology, 1993
SUMMARYInfestation of banana and plantain suckers by nematodes (Pratylenchus good‐eyi, Radopholus similis and Helicotylenchus multicinctus) and weevils (Cosmopolites sordidus) increased with time from establishment in a field of eight different cultivars.

Survivorship and development rates of banana weevils reared on excised plant material of different banana cultivars

International Journal of Tropical Insect Science, 2010
Host plant resistance is an important tool in the management of the banana weevil Cosmopolites sordidus (Germar). Although ovipositing females do not discriminate between resistant and susceptible cultivars, plants of resistant cultivars have smaller larval populations and sustain less damage in the field.

Studies on the banana borer weevil in Cameroun

2002
In Cameroon, bananas and plantains are major staple food for a large proportion of the population. A total of 1.7 million tonnes are produced annually. These crops are threatened by a wide range of pests and diseases among which the banana borer weevil (Cosmopolites sordidus) is the major insect pert.
