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.

Ecological aspects of a Cosmopolites sordidus (Germar) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) population in São Miguel do Iguaçu, PR./
Aspectos ecológicos da população de Cosmopolites sordidus, (Germar) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) em São Miguel do Iguaçu, PR

Semina: Ciências Agrárias, 2006
The population dynamics of Cosmopolites sordidus (Germar) was studied in banana crops (cultivar Nanicão) at São Miguel do Iguaçu, PR, using roof-tile-like baits, between June/2003 and May/2004. Adults infected by entomopathogenic fungi were recorded, and

1,8-Cineole: An attractant for the banana weevil, Cosmopolites sordidus

Phytochemistry, 1996
1,8-Cineole was identified as one of the electrophysiologically active components of the volatiles from banana cultivars susceptible to the banana weevil. It was also shown to be an attractant for the banana weevil Comopolites sordidus in laboratory behavioural bioassays. The resistant cultivar did not contain 1,8-cineole.

First natural occurrence of the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana (Bals. Criv.) Vuill. on Cosmopolites sordidus (Germar, 1824) (Curculionidae, Coleoptera) in an agroforestry system in the Brazilian Cerrado [PDF]

Check List
The natural occurrence of the fungus Beauveria bassiana is an indicator of environmental balance. When the agroforestry system naturally presents this entomopathogenic fungus on the banana weevil Cosmopolites sordidus, a pest insect in the banana crops ...

Falsa broca aumenta disseminação de Beauveria bassiana em populações de campo da broca-do-rizoma da bananeira West Indian Sugarcane Weevil enhances dissemination of Beauveria bassiana on field populations of the banana weevil

Ciência Rural, 2011
A transmissão horizontal de fungos entomopatogênicos tem papel importante na epizootiologia, pois está diretamente associada à disseminação do agente causal da doença de insetos.

Deleterious effects of plant cystatins against the banana weevil Cosmopolites sordidus [PDF]

Archives of Insect Biochemistry and Physiology, 2009
AbstractThe general potential of plant cystatins for the development of insect‐resistant transgenic plants still remains to be established given the natural ability of several insects to compensate for the loss of digestive cysteine protease activities.

COSMOS, a spatially explicit model to simulate the epidemiology of Cosmopolites sordidus in banana fields [PDF]

Ecological Modelling, 2009
A stochastic individual-based model called COSMOS was developed to simulate the epidemiology of banana weevil Cosmopolites sordidus, a major pest of banana fields. The model is based on simple rules of local movement of adults, egg laying of females, development and mortality, and infestation of larvae inside the banana plants.

CAPACIDAD BIOPLAGUICIDA DE CEPAS DE Beauveria bassiana EN LA COLONIZACIÓN DE Cosmopolites sordidus IN VITRO

, 2023
The black weevil (Cosmopolites sordidus) is a serious pest of banana crops. Its resistance to chemical insecticides has highlighted the need for control alternatives. An alternative for the control of C. sordidus is the use of the entomopathogenic fungus
