1,8-Cineole: An attractant for the banana weevil, Cosmopolites sordidus

Phytochemistry, 1996
1,8-Cineole was identified as one of the electrophysiologically active components of the volatiles from banana cultivars susceptible to the banana weevil. It was also shown to be an attractant for the banana weevil Comopolites sordidus in laboratory behavioural bioassays. The resistant cultivar did not contain 1,8-cineole.

Endophytic Beauveria bassiana in banana (Musa spp.) reduces banana weevil (Cosmopolites sordidus) fitness and damage

Crop Protection, 2008
Abstract The effect of endophytic Beauveria bassiana in banana ( Musa spp.) plants against the banana weevil Cosmopolites sordidus was examined in a screenhouse study in Uganda. Tissue-cultured banana plants (cv. Kibuzi, genome group EA-AAA) were inoculated by dipping roots in a B. bassiana suspension of 1.5 × 10 7  conidia/ml for 2 h.

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.
