Infestation of Anthonomus grandis (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) on re-sprout of cotton plants
Pesquisa Agropecuária Tropical, 2015 The destruction of cotton crop residues at the end of the crop cycle is a key strategy for the phytosanitary crop management, since its off-season re-sprout can provide sites for feeding and oviposition of pests such as the boll weevil.
