Trapping the banana weevil, Cosmopolites sordidus, Germar: a mathematical perspective [PDF]

, 2019
A logistic equation incorporating trapping is formulated and parameterized to represent the population dynamics of the banana weevil, Cosmopolites Sordidus, (Germar). The steady states are obtained and their asymptotic stability established. The expression for the critical intrinsic growth rate is derived and its implications analyzed. The existence of

Stop me if you can: quantification of the effect of interfaces between plots on the dispersal of Cosmopolites sordidus

Pest Management Science, Volume 79, Issue 12, Page 5106-5115, December 2023., 2023
Cosmopolites sordidus that is dispersing by crawling had contrasted capacities to cross interfaces between plots. Some interfaces slow down dispersal and can thus be implemented in management strategies. Abstract BACKGROUND Cosmopolites sordidus is one of the most damaging pests of banana worldwide.

Decoding attraction: Improving vine weevil monitoring by exploiting key sensory cues

Pest Management Science, Volume 79, Issue 11, Page 4635-4643, November 2023., 2023
Vine weevil adults preferred black, tall and large‐diameter monitoring tools. Monitoring tool density influenced the number of vine weevils recorded in monitoring tools. By contrast plant density did not influence the number of weevils recorded in monitoring tools.

Susceptibility of Eucalyptus trees to defoliation by the Eucalyptus snout beetle, Gonipterus sp. n. 2, is enhanced by high foliar contents of 1,8‐cineole, oxalic acid and sucrose and low contents of palmitic and shikimic acid

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 46, Issue 11, Page 3481-3500, November 2023., 2023
Abstract Gonipterus sp. n. 2 (Coleoptera, Curculionidae) is an invasive, commercially important weevil that causes large‐scale defoliation of Eucalyptus trees. The weevil specifically feeds on young leaves and new shoots, thus reducing tree growth. The weevil displays a very strong preference for certain Eucalyptus genotypes, however, this behaviour ...

Assessing the effect of complex ground types on ground‐dwelling arthropod movements with video monitoring: Dealing with concealed movements under a layer of plant residues

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 7, July 2022., 2022
We present a method to monitor and characterize the movement of ground‐dwelling arthropods in mesocosms with realistic ground covers. The method, based on infra‐red video tracking and trajectory processing, made it possible to track night‐time movements that were partially concealed by plant residues.

Characterization, identification and virulence of Metarhizium species from Cuba to control the sweet potato weevil, Cylas formicarius Fabricius (Coleoptera: Brentidae)

Journal of Applied Microbiology, Volume 132, Issue 5, Page 3705-3716, May 2022., 2022
Abstract Aims Entomopathogenic Metarhizium fungi are widely recognized for their biological control potential. In Cuba, several fungus‐based bio‐insecticides have been developed and are produced as part of integrated pest management (IPM) programmes for economically relevant agricultural pests.

Pest categorisation of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense Tropical Race 4

EFSA Journal, Volume 20, Issue 1, January 2022., 2022
Abstract The EFSA Plant Health Panel performed a pest categorisation of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense Tropical Race 4 (Foc TR4), an ascomycete fungus causing Fusarium wilt (Panama disease) on Musa spp. Foc TR4 is pathogenic to the commercial banana varieties including those of the ‘Cavendish’ group and is considered as the most destructive among ...

Scientific opinion on the import of Musa fruits as a pathway for the entry of non‐EU Tephritidae into the EU territory

EFSA Journal, Volume 19, Issue 3, March 2021., 2021
Abstract Following a request from the European Commission, the EFSA Panel on Plant Health examined evidence as to whether the import of fruits of Musa (bananas and plantains) could provide a pathway into the EU for Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel) (Diptera: Tephritidae) or other non‐EU Tephritidae for which Musa is a host. Relevant scientific and technical

THE ELUSIVE BANANA WEEVIL COSMOPOLITES SORDIDUS GERMAR

Acta Horticulturae, 2000
The banana weevil Cosmopolites sordidus Germar, has evaded all efforts to manage it in all banana-based cropping systems except the commercial plantation banana system, where the 2 to 3 year crop cycle and the intensity of management limit the pest survival in that system.
