Life Cycles of Neochetina bruchi Warner and Neochetina eichhorniae Hustache as Potential Biological Control Agents in the Semi Arid Zone of Nigeria [PDF]

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Life Sciences, 2015
Biological control is the use of living organism to suppress or control another living organisms, and it is cost-effective and environment-friendly. Water hyacinth Eichhornia crassipes infestations in Nigeria stifles economic uses of surface waters, and ...

Effects of Host Quality on Flight Muscle Development in Neochetina eichhorniae and N. bruchi (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)

open access: yesFlorida Entomologist, 2010
Neochetina eichhorniae Warner and N. bruchi Hustache, biological control agents of Eichhornia crassipes (Martius) Solms-Laubach, are usually incapable of flight but occasionally develop indirect flight muscles enabling dispersal.

Correction to: Effects of salinity and nutrients on water hyacinth and its biological control agent, Neochetina bruchi [PDF]

open access: yesHydrobiologia, 2020
Due to an unfortunate turn of events, the maiden name of the third author was displayed in the original publication and it should have read Cindy R. Kron. The original article has been corrected and the proper representation of the authors’ names and their affiliation is also listed here.

Exploiting the Attributes of Biocontrol Agent (Neochetina bruchi) as a Potential Ecosystem Engineer’s

open access: yes, 2022
The biodiversity of lakes is continuously declining and diverse communities are being substituted by monoculture of invasive Eichhornia crassipes, resulting in a slew of environmental cascade effects. The ability of the Neochetina bruchi to self-perpetuate is a desirable aspect of biological control since it decreases the population to a reasonable ...

Persebaran agens hayati Neochetina spp. (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) di jawa barat dan DKI jakarta

open access: yesJurnal Entomologi Indonesia, 2017
The establishment of Neochetina spp. as biocontrol agent of waterhyacinth are related to the weevil’s ability to disperse and to increase their population sizes. The objective of this research was to study the distribution and abundance of Neochetina spp.

A Comparison of Regression Tree Approaches to Modelling the Efficacy of Water Hyacinth Biocontrol Using Multitemporal Spectral Datasets

open access: yesJournal of Spectroscopy, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018
Water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) is an exotic plant species that is effectively controlled by Neochetina spp. weevils. This study is aimed at determining if spectroscopic data may be utilized to predict insect‐induced stress on water hyacinth plants.

The Impact of Simulated Spectral Noise on Random Forest and Oblique Random Forest Classification Performance

open access: yesJournal of Spectroscopy, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018
Hyperspectral datasets contain spectral noise, the presence of which adversely affects the classifier performance to generalize accurately. Despite machine learning algorithms being regarded as robust classifiers that generalize well under unfavourable noisy conditions, the extent of this is poorly understood. This study aimed to evaluate the influence

Do tissue carbon and nitrogen limit population growth of weevils introduced to control waterhyacinth at a site in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, California? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Waterhyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes(Mart.) Solms), is a serious problem in the Sacramento Delta. Two weevil species (Neochetina bruchi Hustache and N. eichhorniae Warner) have been introduced as biological control agents. The purpose of this study was
