Lethal and Sublethal Effects of Contact Insecticides and Horticultural Oils on the Hibiscus Bud Weevil, Anthonomus testaceosquamosus Linell (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)

A. Daniel Greene et al.

Summary: The invasive hibiscus bud weevil has posed a challenge to ornamental nurseries in Florida since 2017. Feeding and oviposition by the weevil results in dropped flowers, making the plants unattractive for consumers. In order to help growers manage the weevil, 21 different insecticide and horticultural oil products were tested for their effects on the weevil adults. Some of the tested products showed significant reduction in feeding and oviposition behavior, providing effective control options.

Biology of Anthonomus testaceosquamosus Linell, 1897 (Coleoptera: Curculionidae): A New Pest of Tropical Hibiscus

Alexandra M. Revynthi et al.

Summary: Although native to northeastern Mexico and southern Texas, the hibiscus bud weevil (HBW) was recently discovered in south Florida, causing significant economic damage to the hibiscus industry. The study found that temperature and diet play crucial roles in the life history of HBW, with a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius being optimal for its development. The weevil's development rate on hibiscus buds is similar to that on an artificial diet. HBW can survive solely on pollen, but reproduction does not occur. The weevil's survival time is significantly extended when water is accessible.

A toxicogenomics approach reveals characteristics supporting the honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) safety profile of the butenolide insecticide flupyradifurone

Julian Haas et al.

Summary: Flupyradifurone, a novel butenolide insecticide, has low toxicity to western honey bees due to the non-toxic metabolites of internalized compound and the lack of high-affinity binding to honey bee nAChRs. The detoxification of flupyradifurone in honey bees is mainly mediated by P450 enzymes CYP6AQ1, CYP9Q2, and CYP9Q3. The azole fungicides prochloraz and propiconazole act as strong inhibitors of these P450 enzymes, showing highly synergistic effects in combination with flupyradifurone in laboratory tests.
