Two Muscardine Fungi Pathogenic to Diaprepes Abbreviatus

open access: yesThe Florida Entomologist, 1972
In the laboratory, the fungus Metarrhizium anisopliae (Metschnikoff) Sorokin infected 6.7% of the adults and none of the larvae of the so-called sugarcane rootstalk borer weevil, Diaprepres abbreviatus (L.). In contrast, Beauveria bassiana (Balsamo) Vuillemin infected 92.7% of the adults within 7 days and 76.9% of the larvae within 12 days.

Conspecific pheromone extracts enhance entomopathogenic infectivity

open access: yesJournal of Nematology, 2019
Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) provide economic control of various insect pests. However, field efficacy can be inconsistent. The ability of a nematode to find and infect (invade) a host insect is critical to successful pathogenesis.

Flight Behavior and Dispersal of Diaprepes abbreviatus

open access: yesThe Florida Entomologist, 1978
From July to October 1975, marked adult Diaprepes abbreviatus (L.) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) were released in an isolated orange grove near Apopka (Orange County), Florida. Specimens were recovered for 50-52 days following each of 2 releases. Multiple sightings were made of 42% of the released females and 34% of individually coded males.

Biological Control of Hazelnut Weevil (Curculio nucum L., Coleoptera, Curculionidae) Using the Entomopathogenic Fungus Beauveria bassiana (Balsamo) Vuill. (Deuteromycotina, Hyphomycetes) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
The need to biologically control phytophagous insects has led researchers to consider using microorganisms to control insect pests in the field. On this basis, we decided to conduct field tests to determine the effectiveness of a commercial product made ...

Development of Diaprepes abbreviatus on Potted Citrus Seedlings

open access: yesThe Florida Entomologist, 1975
Adult Diaprepes abbreviatus (L.) were recovered from citrus seedlings 132 through 168 days after infestation of the plants with 0- to 24-hour old larvae. Pupae were recovered 98 through 238 days after infestation. The number of larval instars could not be determined from the frequency distribution curves of head capsule measurements.

Biological control of the cherry fruit fly, Rhagoletis cerasi L. (Diptera, Tephriti-dae) by use of entomopathogenic nematodes: first experiences towards practi-cal implementation. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The use of entomopathogenic nematodes (EPN) is a promising approach to control the cherry fruit fly, Rhagoletis cerasi L.. We already demonstrated the high potential of EPN to infect larvae after leaving the cherry for pupation in the soil in laboratory ...
