Patterns and Consequences of Mating Behavior of the Root Weevil Diaprepes abbreviatus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)

Florida Entomologist, 2008
Abstract The tropical root weevil, Diaprepes abbreviatus (L.), is a major pest of many plants of economic importance, including citrus and ornamentals. It was accidentally introduced from the Caribbean into Florida in the 1960s and its range within the United States now includes Texas and California.

Diaprepes in Florida citrus: Past, present, and future.

EDIS, 2023
In response to the recent resurgence of Diaprepes under a scenario where most citrus trees are infected with HLB, we have begun work to develop the needed tools and management recommendations to limit the damage it might cause.

Virulence of new and mixed strains of the entomopathogenic nematode Steinernema riobrave to larvae of the citrus root weevil Diaprepes abbreviatus

Biological Control, 2004
Steinernema riobrave ranks as the most efficacious entomopathogenic nematode for inundative biological control (biopesticide) applications against larvae of the root weevil Diaprepes abbreviatus in Florida citrus groves and has been commercially available for several years.

Controlling factors of environmental flooding, soil pH and Diaprepes abbreviatus (L.) root weevil feeding in citrus: Larval survival and larval growth

Applied Soil Ecology, 2007
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).

Time series forecast and soil characteristics-based simple and multivariate linear models for management of Diaprepes abbreviatus root weevil in citrus

Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 2007
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 ...

A major forest insect pest, the pine weevil Hylobius abietis, is more susceptible to Diptera- than Coleoptera-targeted Bacillus thuringiensis strains. [PDF]

Pest Manag Sci, 2021
Effects of Bacillus thuringiensis on the pine weevil Hylobius abietis were evaluated for the first time. A Diptera‐targeted strain was most toxic and could enhance forest protection against H. abietis. Abstract BACKGROUND The pine weevil (Hylobius abietis) is a major forest regeneration pest causing high levels of seedling mortality and economic losses.

Testing the potential of entomopathogenic nematodes in attract-and-kill and autodissemination approaches in the control of Queensland fruit fly, Bactrocera tryoni. [PDF]

Pest Manag Sci
Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) delivered in a fly‐attractive aqueous yeast hydrolysate solution cause high levels of mortality in Queensland fruit fly. Infected flies can still fly and thereby disperse EPNs before the flies succumb to infection. Abstract BACKGROUND Many studies have demonstrated that tephritid fruit fly larvae are highly susceptible

Integrated Pest Management (IPM) in Agriculture and Its Role in Maintaining Ecological Balance and Biodiversity

Advances in Agriculture, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
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.
