Influence of plant and residue age on attraction, acceptance and larval survival of the banana weevil Cosmopolites sordidus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) [PDF]

, 2009
Laboratory trials were conducted in Uganda at the Kawanda Agricultural Research Institute to determine attraction, eclosion success and larval survivorship of the banana weevil Cosmopolites sordidus (Germar) on crop residues of different ages.

Entomopathogenic Nematodes for Control of Root Weevils of Citrus

The Florida Entomologist, 1992
The entomopathogenic nematodes, Steinernema carpocapsae (All strain), Heterorhabditis bacteriophora (HP-88 strain), H. bacteriophora (Florida strain), applied to the soil of a citrus grove near Lake Jem, Florida in March 1989, significantly reduced adult emergence of the root weevil, Diaprepes abbreviatus (L.).

A Review of Chemical Antagonists to Mycopathogens of Citrus Root Weevils

The Florida Entomologist, 1985
The literature describing chemical antagonists of the methypathogens that attack larvae of citrus root weevils is reviewed with emphasis on compounds that are either fungicidal or fungistatic and impact Beauveria bassiana or Metarhizium anisopliae. The development of antagonist-resistant strains is described.

[Biological characteristics of the egg phase of citrus root weevils].

Neotropical entomology, 2007
The goal of this work was to study some characteristics of the egg phase of three species of citrus root weevils. The insects were collected from citrus plants in Itapetininga, SP, and brought to the Laboratório de Biologia de Insetos of ESALQ/USP, in Piracicaba, SP, where the species Naupactus cervinus (Boheman), Naupactus versatilis (Hustache) and ...

Low Rates of Kaolin in Different Application Periods Reduce Diaphorina citri Population and Huanglongbing Incidence in Commercial Citrus Orchards

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Huanglongbing (HLB) is the most destructive citrus disease worldwide, and it has been disseminated by the Asian citrus psyllid Diaphorina citri, the vector of the causing agent Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus. Although processed kaolin reduces psyllid infestation, long‐term field data from commercial orchards are limited.

Citrus pests in a global world

, 2020
Citrus pest management has evolved from a primarily biological approach to dependence on chemical control, followed by more integrated systems. More recently, the spread of huanglongbing (HLB) or citrus greening disease in Asia and both Americas has ...

Population Genomics Approaches Identify a Cryptic, Emerging Generalist Pest Complex

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
Molecular gut content analysis and RAD‐seq analysis revealed a peanut pest complex where previously only one species was considered problematic. Both species exhibited a wide, but somewhat distinct, variety of plants among their diets, and peanut‐feeding was rare. Diet generalism combined with a stepwise pattern of dispersal among fields might underlie

Digestive enzymes of vine weevil (Otiorhynchus sulcatus) as potential targets for insect control strategies. [PDF]

, 2002
Over the previous quarter century the vine weevil (Otiorhynchus sulcatus) has become a pest of horticultural and agricultural plants. The vine weevil is a polyphagous coleopteran insect and is able to attack over one hundred different plant species.
