Biodynamics of Anthonomus macromalus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), a Weevil Pest of Barbados Cherry in Florida

The major insect pest of Barbados Cherry in Florida and the Caribbean Islands is the weevil Anthonomus macromalus. Adult weevils feed on immature, expanding leaves and deposit their eggs on the anthers of flower buds, immature fruits and stem terminals. Major economic damage occurs when the weevil larvae develop in the flowers and fruit injuring the reproductive structures and reducing fruit yields. Several studies were initiated in Homestead, Florida in 1995 to determine adult and larval dynamics and foliar damage. Surveys for parasitoids yielded one parasitoid, Catolaccus hunteri. A second study involved the first steps of pheromone identification and tests for comparison of different formulations of other weevil species.
