Effects of field vegetation control on pine weevil (Hylobius abietis) damage to newly planted Norway spruce seedlings [PDF]
, 2003 We investigated interactions between field vegetation and seedling damage caused by a major insect pest, the pine weevil Hylobius abietis (L.), in an experiment established on a clear-cut area in southern Sweden.

Comparison of Two Steinernematid Species for Control of the Root Weevil Diaprepes abbreviatus.
Journal of nematology, 2011 Steinernema carpocapsae Weiser All strain was compared to Steinernema riobravis Cabanillas, Poinar, and Raulston for control of the root weevil, Diaprepes abbreviatus (L.), in the laboratory and in potted citrus. In the laboratory bioassay, D. abbreviatus larvae were exposed to 30, 60, and 120 nematodes/cm(3) in sand.

Intraspecific Variation in Plant Defense Alters Effects of Root Herbivores on Leaf Chemistry and Aboveground Herbivore Damage [PDF]
, 2008 Root herbivores can indirectly affect aboveground herbivores by altering the food quality of the plant. However, it is largely unknown whether plant genotypes differ in their response to root herbivores, leading to variable defensive phenotypes.

Subterranean, herbivore-induced plant volatile increases biological control activity of multiple beneficial nematode species in distinct habitats. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 While the role of herbivore-induced volatiles in plant-herbivore-natural enemy interactions is well documented aboveground, new evidence suggests that belowground volatile emissions can protect plants by attracting entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs ...

EFSA Journal, Volume 15, Issue 2, February 2017., 2017 Abstract Following a request from EFSA, the Panel on Plant Protection Products and their Residues developed an opinion on the science behind the risk assessment of plant protection products for in‐soil organisms. The current risk assessment scheme is reviewed, taking into account new regulatory frameworks and scientific developments. Proposals are made

Vagility and Probability of Survival in Two Weevils (Coleoptera, Curculionidae): the sugarcane rootstalk borer weevil (Diaprepes abbreviatus [L.]) and the sweet potato weevil (Cylas formicarius [F.]) [PDF]
, 2017 The sugarcane rootscalk weevil borer Diaprepes abbreviates (L.) moves freely among numerous plant hosts within Puertorican agroecosystems. The sweet potato weevil, on the contrary, appears circumscribed to the family Convolvulaceae.

Influence of plant and residue age on attraction, acceptance and larval survival of the banana weevil Cosmopolites sordidus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) [PDF]
, 2009 Laboratory trials were conducted in Uganda at the Kawanda Agricultural Research Institute to determine attraction, eclosion success and larval survivorship of the banana weevil Cosmopolites sordidus (Germar) on crop residues of different ages.
