Suppression of Myllocerus undatus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) in Valencia orange with Chlorpyrifos sprays directed at ground and foliage
Florida Entomologist 92 (1), 150-152
Abstract: Myllocerus undatus is a potentially destructive pest for citrus in Florida. Adults feed on leaves potentially reducing the quality and quantity of the fruit production by reducing photosynthetic area of the plant. Oviposition occurs in the soil and the presence of immature stages in the root area of the citrus trees indicates the potential for root damage although none was observed. Application of insecticide to both ground and foliage provided better control than applications directed only to the canopy or only to the ground.
