The occurrence of Hypera rumicis L. (Col., Curculionidae) on Rumex confertus Willd. as an interesting option for biological weed population control
Journal of Plant Protection Research 41 (3), 209-215
Abstract: Biological methods of weed control are alternative to chemical treatments. Biological techniques are used where no possibility for chemical spraying occurs. The objective of the study was to evaluate population dynamics and the development of Hypera rumicis L. (Coleoptera, Cucurlionidae) on Rumex confertus Willd. as well as to determine effects of the injuries on growth of a plant.
