Forgotten Fruit, Infinite Potential: History, Genetics, Cultivation, and Future Perspectives for Feijoa sellowiana

New Zealand Journal of Crop and Horticultural Science, Volume 54, Issue 1, March 2026.
Feijoa sellowiana (O. Berg), known as feijoa, is a South American fruit native to southern Brazil and northeastern Uruguay, with agronomic, nutritional, and industrial potential. Once restricted to its native range, the species is now cultivated in New Zealand, Colombia, and Georgia, where breeding programs and market chains are advancing its ...

Management of Citrus Root Weevils (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) on Florida Citrus with Soil-Applied Entomopathogenic Nematodes (Nematoda: Rhabditida)

The Florida Entomologist, 1999
The entomopathogenic nematodes Steinernema carpocapsae Weiser and S. riobravis Cabanillas, Poiner and Raulston were compared as twice a year soil treatments for control of the west indian sugarcane root stalk borer weevil, Diaprepes abbreviatus (L.), and citrus root weevil, Pachnaeus litus (Germar).

The Vulnerability of New Zealand Forage Plants to Incursions by New Pests, Pathogens and Weeds, and the Case for Greater Protection

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 1, February 2026.
We outline the diversity of pests, weeds and plant pathogens absent from New Zealand that threaten forage production, examine their potential import pathways, and outline the challenges of managing them should they arrive. The number and diversity of threats and pathways indicates ongoing incursions are inevitable.

Loss‐of‐Function Mutation in CER2‐LIKE1 Reduced Accumulation of Cuticular Wax and Susceptibility to Thrips in Welsh Onion

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 2, Page 871-883, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Cuticular waxes can form a hydrophobic barrier on aerial plant surfaces, which is essential for mediating plant‐environment interactions by providing protection against both biotic and abiotic stresses. In this study, a cuticular wax mutant (gl) was identified and characterised in Welsh onion (Allium fistulosum L.), exhibiting a functional ...

The Citrus Root Weevils in Florida: An Extension Service Perspective

The Florida Entomologist, 1985
There are 5 species of root weevils that infest citrus in Florida. A ban on the use of existing effective persistant insecticides in the soil limits recommended Cooperative Extension Service control practices to: 1) maintenance of sound agronomic programs for vigorous growth of trees; 2) concentration of efforts on resets; 3) elimination of alternate ...

Development of Nanocomposite Bioactive Diffusion Films (BDFs) Combined With Gamma Irradiation for Control of the Rice Weevil Sitophilus oryzae, a Stored Product Pest

Journal of Food Science, Volume 91, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT The fumigant toxicity of 6 essential oils (EOs) (Mediterranean, Southern, citrus, cinnamon, Asian, and savory thyme), 2 citrus extracts (CEs: organic OCE and natural NCE), and 2 active formulations (microfluidized nanoemulsions AF‐1 and AF‐2) was investigated for control of rice weevil (Sitophilus oryzae), a stored product pest.

LADY BEETLES AS POTENTIAL PREDATORS OF THE ROOT WEEVIL DIAPREPESABBREVIATUS (COLEOPTERA: CURCULIONIDAE) IN FLORIDA CITRUS

Florida Entomologist, 2002
Abstract Diaprepes abbreviatus (L.) is a major pest of Florida citrus. Adult females lay eggs in masses sealed between leaves in the citrus canopy, and recently-hatched neonate larvae drop to the soil and feed on roots. The coccinellid species, Cycloneda sanguinea (L.), Harmoniaaxyridis Pallas, and Olla v-nigrum Mulsant, are generalist predators that ...

Phytochemical Analysis and Insecticidal Activity of Four Plant Extracts Against Maize Weevil and Larger Grain Borer

International Journal of Agronomy, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Plant‐based biopesticides provide a sustainable alternative to synthetic insecticides for managing postharvest losses caused by maize weevil (Sitophilus zeamais) and larger grain borer (Prostephanus truncatus). This study evaluated the phytochemical composition and insecticidal activity of methanolic extracts of Lantana camara, Citrus sinensis, Moringa

First Assessment of the Reproductive Potential of Spermophagus niger (Motschulsky, 1866) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) on Hibiscus asper Hook. f. (Malvales: Malvaceae) Seeds

Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Spermophagus niger L. (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) is the main insect pest of Hibiscus sabdariffa seeds (Malvales: Malvaceae) during storage, with initial infestations occurring in the field. This study presents the first assessment of S. niger development on Hibiscus asper seeds (Malvales: Malvaceae), a wild and underutilized species widely distributed
