Biology and damage of an undescribed weevil (coleoptera: curculionidae) on amaryllis. Florida Entomological Society Annual Meeting. Interpretive Summary: n Technical Abstract: The weevil subfamily Baridinae is comprised of several economically important species that cause damage to the roots and fruits of plants. In the early 1990’s, a baridine weevil was observed feeding on and occasionally killing amaryllis (Hippeastrum Herb) plants in Florida. A survey was conducted to document grower awareness of this pest and laboratory research was initiated to gather information on its basic biology. |
