Symposium: Biology and Control of Weevils Associated with Citrus in Florida and the West Indies: The Citrus Root Weevils in Florida: An Extension Service Perspective
Abstract
There are 5 species of root weevils that infest citrus in Florida. A ban on the use of existing effective persistant insecticides in the soil limits recommended Cooperative Extension Service control practices to: 1) maintenance of sound agronomic programs for vigorous growth of trees; 2) concentration of efforts on resets; 3) elimination of alternate hosts in or near groves; 4) use of 0.5 to 1.0% FC-435-66 spray oil in normal spray applications; and 5) use of Carzol SP as the miticide of choice when needed.Downloads
