Response of Diaprepes abbreviatus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) to application concentrations of a particle film
Florida Entomologist 88 (2), 222-224
Abstract: The deterrence of Surround® WP particle film to feeding and oviposition by the Diaprepes root weevil was proportional to the concentration of application to citrus leaves in a greenhouse trial. Reduced oviposition appeared to be due to the combined effect of reduced feeding and behavioral deterrence.
