Field studies were conducted to determine banana weevil attraction to processed banana tissues that could then be used at delivery sites for the entomopathogen Beauveria bassiana . Tested materials included pounded corm or pseudostem and chopped corm or pseudostem of (cv Mpologoma, AAA-EA and Kay...

Candidate strains of the fungus Beauveria bassiana have been identified for the intergrated pest management of the banana weevil (Cosmopolites sordidus). However, the important limiting factor has been the lack of an economic and effective delivery system to maximize field effects. Catches in phe...

The banana ( Musa spp.) weevil ( Cosmopolites sordidus (Germar) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) is a major pest in East Africa causing yield losses of up to 14 metric tonnes per hectare annually. Laboratory and field experiments were conducted to determine whether the response of the banana weevil, C...

The banana weevil Cosmopolites sordidus (Germar) is an important pest on bananas and plantains (Musa spp.). Population build-up is slow and weevil problems become increasingly important in successive crop cycles (ratoons). Yield loss results from plant loss (death, snapping, toppling), mat disapp...

This study assessed the on-farm Musa germplasm diversity across different agro-ecologies of Rwanda and the socio-economic utilization options and selection practices that create/maintain this diversity on-farm. Methodology and results: A Musa germplasm diagnostic survey was carried out in 2007 in...
