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

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

INTEGRATED USE OF NEOCHETINA BRUCHI AND ALTERNARIA EICHHORNIAE IN CONTROLLING WATER HYACINTH
BIOTROPIAThe study on the integrated use of the chevroned water hyacinth weevil (Neochetina bruchi Mustache) and the water hyacinth blight disease (Alternaria eichhorniae Nag Raj & Ponnappa) in suppressing water hyacinth growth was carried out under field conditions at Situ Bagendit lake, Garut, West Java.

Journal of Biotechnology Research Center, 2014 The results of this study showed that the lowest developmental threshold of eggs, larvae and pupae of N. bruchi was 12, 12 and 11°C respectively at 20,25 and 30°C. While there were no hatching and development of larvae and pupae at 15°C ,While 35°C killed all the stages were tested.
