Heavy metal bioaccumulation and effects on waterhyacinth weevils,Neochetina eichhorniae, feeding on waterhyacinth,Eichhornia crassipes

Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, 1986
Both aquatic and terrestrial habitats frequently are subject to contamination by toxic heavy metals, yet very little is known about the influence of heavy metals absorbed by plant tissues upon the phytophagous insect fauna feeding upon these plants. The objectives of this study were to determine the influence of plant-absorbed metals upon the feeding ...

Survival of the mirid Eccritotarsus catarinensis as influenced by Neochetina eichhorniae and Neochetina bruchi feeding scars on leaves of water hyacinth Eichhornia crassipes

BioControl, 2006
Water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes (Mart.) Solms-Laub.) remains a problem waterweed worldwide, for which biological control offers a sustainable solution. Under laboratory conditions, we investigated the interaction between two established weevil species Neochetina eichhorniae (Warner), Neochetina bruchi Hustache and the mirid Eccritotarsus ...

Water turbidity affects the establishment of Neochetina eichhorniae (Warner) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae): Implications for biological control of water hyacinth

Environmental Research, 2023
Water hyacinth is the target of nine biological control agents in South Africa including Neochetina eichhorniae (Warner) and Neochetina bruchi (Hustache) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae). These two weevils have also been released against water hyacinth in Rwanda, but failed to control the weed invasion, possibly due to high turbidity in the country's water ...

Waterhyacinth Weevils (Neochetina eichhorniaeandN. bruchi) Inhibit Waterhyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) Colony Development

Biological Control, 1999
Abstract The weevils Neochetina eichhorniae and N. bruchi were released in the USA for waterhyacinth control during the early 1970s and have since been used in many other countries. Although successful control has been reported, questions regarding the efficacy of these insects remain unresolved. This lack of consensus may be attributed to the subtle
