Life Cycles of Neochetina bruchi Warner and Neochetina eichhorniae Hustache as Potential Biological Control Agents in the Semi Arid Zone of Nigeria [PDF]
American 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 arthropods have been used as biological control agents to reduce water hyacinth infestations, with ...

The Florida Entomologist, 1992 We studied Neochetina eichhorniae and N. bruchi populations at 22 sites in southern Florida during mid-summer 1985. Species composition, reproductive females (as a percentage of total females), and flight muscle development of N. eichhorniae populations varied greatly among sites. N.

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

Biological Control, 2021 Abstract Variability in the effectiveness of biological control programs can be due to a myriad of abiotic and biotic interactions. Here, we explore these interactions in relation to the suboptimal biological control on the invasive water hyacinth, Pontederia (=Eichhornia) crassipes, by two weevils, Neochetina bruchi and N.

Journal 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.

Journal 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

A Computer Simulation Model of Waterhyacinth and Weevil Interactions [PDF]
, 1991 A personal computer simulation model termed INSECT has been developed to evaluate biological control of waterhyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes (Mart.) Solms.) by two species of weevil (Neochetina eichhorniae Warner, and N. bruchi Hustache).

Florida Entomologist, 2010 ABSTRACT 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. This reportedly alternates with oogenesis and is reversible. We examined host quality as a possible explanation for
