Efficacy of Topical Application, Leaf Residue or Soil Drench of Blastospores of Isaria fumosorosea for Citrus Root Weevil Management: Laboratory and Greenhouse Investigations [PDF]
The efficacy of topical, leaf residue, and soil drench applications with Isaria fumosorosea blastospores (Ifr strain 3581) was assessed for the management of the citrus root weevil, Diaprepes abbreviatus (L.).

Abstract The underlying influences of soil flooding, pH level and soil-inhabiting Diaprepes abbreviatus (L.) root weevil larval feeding in citrus were examined in two separate greenhouse studies, rootstock × flooding × Diaprepes-larvae (RFD) and liming × rootstock × flooding × Diaprepes-larvae (LRFD).

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 ...

Field Diagnosis of Citrus Root Weevil Damage
Root weevils infest citrus groves throughout the citrus growing regions of Florida. Among the eight weevil species that have been identified in Florida citrus groves, five have some potential to cause economic problems for nurserymen and commercial ...

The production of sustainable crops and environmental management in farming face several significant potential obstacles, including climate change, resource depletion and environmental degradation. Weeds and insect pests that considerably reduce yields have put crop production systems in danger.

Frontiers in quantifying wildlife behavioural responses to chemical pollution
ABSTRACT Animal behaviour is remarkably sensitive to disruption by chemical pollution, with widespread implications for ecological and evolutionary processes in contaminated wildlife populations. However, conventional approaches applied to study the impacts of chemical pollutants on wildlife behaviour seldom address the complexity of natural ...

We investigate if genomic bacterial and laboratory contamination is introduced into ultraconserved element (UCE) probe design from five novel Coleoptera museum specimens. Our findings indicate that even very clean samples have contamination that is carried into the UCE probe design.
