Commodity risk assessment of Petunia spp. and Calibrachoa spp. unrooted cuttings from Kenya

open access: yesEFSA Journal, Volume 22, Issue 4, April 2024.
Abstract The European Commission requested the EFSA Panel on Plant Health to evaluate the probability of entry of pests (likelihood of pest freedom at entry), including both regulated and non‐regulated pests, associated with unrooted cuttings of the genera Petunia and Calibrachoa produced under physical isolation in Kenya. The relevance of any pest for

Monitoring cotton squares with opened and/or yellowed bracts to determine the need and efficency of chemical control against the cotton boll weevil

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Biology
The technique of terrestrial sampling of boll weevil (BW) populations is expensive and inefficient over large areas, but may be cheaper and more efficient without involving the manipulation of cotton squares.

Mechanical damage in cotton buds caused by the boll weevil

open access: yesPesquisa Agropecuária Brasileira, 2003
The boll weevil (Anthonomus grandis Boheman) causes high levels of bud abscission in cotton plants due to feeding or oviposition punctures. It has been reported that abscission is mainly due to enzymes present in the insect's saliva, but mechanical ...
