Abstract:

Banana weevil, Cosmopolites sordidus (Germar), and striped weevil, Metamasius hemipterus (Linnaeus), are pests of global importance in banana cultivation that are traditionally controlled using synthetic insecticides. Plastic traps offer an alternative method to managing these weevils. However, the effectiveness of artisanal traps, considering color, odor, position, and their influence on trapping efficacy, has been largely neglected. Here, we assessed artisanal plastic traps for capturing banana weevils, testing two trap colors (yellow and brown), two positions (horizontal and vertical), and

<strong>ABSTRACT</strong> In Kolhapur G-9 and Deshi varieties of banana Musa sp. are widely cultivated and attacked by weevils <em>Cosmopolitis sordidus</em> Germer and <em>Odoiporus longicollis</em> Oliver (Curculionidae : Coleoptera). The occurrence of <em>O. longicollis</em> on above said banana varieties was high from the months of June, September, October, April and May. More or less same trend of occurrence was shown by <em>C. sordidus</em>. G-9 variety was more susceptible to weevil attack than Deshi variety. Under laboratory conditions (27±1oC, 75-80% R.H. and 12 hr photoperiod)

Abstract:

The pest status of Cosmopolites sordidus has been related to farm sanitation, environmental conditions and local weevil biotypes. This study was to confirm the inherent fecundity of endemic weevils, soil moisture effect and planting material health status that may contribute to weevil behaviour. Adult banana weevils were confined to plantain rhizomes, which were then subjected to four soil moisture regimens for 65 days. In another experiment to measure potential fecundity, weevils collected from the farmer&rsquo;s field were dissected to determine the internal egg follicles. Planting mater

Abstract:

Artificial diets rapidly establish the effectiveness of chemical-based control strategies. Diets permit preliminary evaluation of active compounds, study in-vitro larval growth cycles that are usually inaccessible and produce uniform large consistent numbers of insects as needed. With no known artificial diet, banana weevils, have always been reared on field-collected banana rhizome (corm). This study, therefore, developed and examined the effect of commercial diet recipes fortified with susceptible banana corm powder on weevil growth and development. Subsequently, corm powders from different

The project is carried out in business partner Blue Garden Farm in Tanjung Jati, VII Koto Talago Village, Guguak District, and Regency of Lima Puluh Kota. The location has the potential to develop agriculture and animal husbandry. One of the many agricultural sectors in the region is bananas. People usually only use this fruit while others are wasted. In response to the above problems, a solution to the development and utilization of banana weevil to prepare IMO (Indigenous Microorganisms) was given.

Abstract:

Understanding of ecological interactions is necessary for the application of biological control. Banana is the second most produced fruit worldwide and the banana weevil (Cosmopolites sordidus) is the most important pest of banana and plantain. Its biological control remains challenging because of the robustness and cryptic behaviour of the adult and the hidden development of larval stages. Researchers therefore tend to favour conservation biological control of this pest. The commonly used methods for measuring the effects of natural enemies on the regulation of this pest focus on invertebrate

Abstract:

Banana weevil (Cosmopolites sordidus, Germar) is a major pest in East African Highland Banana. The influence of crop nutritional status on weevil damage is poorly understood. Nutrient availability affects the nutritional quality of plants for weevils and may affect weevil damage. Here, we evaluate the effect of insecticides alone and in combination with fertilisers (N, P, K and Si) on weevil damage using data from two experiments in central and southwest Uganda. In the first experiment, we varied chlorpyrifos and application rates of N, P and K. In the second experiment, we varied the applicat

This chapter discusses the impact of the banana weevil borer (Banana black weevil), Cosmopolites sordidus (Germar, 1824) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae). It provides an overview of the spread of the pest, its life cycle and the impact on plant health and yields. The chapter then discusses control measures. These include chemical control, cultural /agronomic practices, the use of pheromones in monitoring and mass trapping, genetic resistance and the use of predator species, nematodes and entomopathogens against weevils. The chapter also looks at the link between the pest and disease in banana.
