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

Advice on animal and public health risks of insects reared on former foodstuffs as raw material for animal feed

Food Risk Assess Europe, Volume 4, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract In the coming decades, there is expected to be a sharply increased demand for dietary proteins for humans and animals. As a result, there is an increasing focus on reared insects as a new source of protein. According to the Ministry of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality (LNV), the use of food chain residual flows such as former foodstuffs as

Commodity risk assessment of oak and walnut logs from the US

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract The European Commission submitted to the EFSA Panel on Plant Health a Dossier from the United States proposing the use of a vacuum–steam–heat treatment as a stand‐alone phytosanitary measure to mitigate the risk of entry of Bretziella fagacearum, Geosmithia morbida and its vector Pityophthorus juglandis (thousand cankers disease complex) into ...

Molecular Identification of the Economically Important Invasive Citrus Root WeevilDiaprepes abbreviatus(Coleoptera: Curculionidae)

Florida Entomologist, 2009
The article reports on the study that identifies the economical importance of citrus root weevil Diaprepes abbreviatus (D. abbreviatus). It develops a sensitive barcoding technique based on the polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-amplification and sequencing of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I (COI) gene to use in identification of eggs, larvae and ...

Time series forecast and soil characteristics-based simple and multivariate linear models for management of Diaprepes abbreviatus root weevil in citrus

Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 2007
Synthesis of insect and soil variable patterns in space and time via process models would be useful for reducing the cost of field monitoring and for achieving improved integrated pest management. During 2001–2003, we monitored the Diaprepes abbreviatus (L.) root weevil population in a flatwoods citrus grove containing a sandy Alfisol and a loamy ...
