Current status of the rice water weevil Lissorhoptrus oryzophilus in Italy: eleven-year invasion / D. Lupi, C. Jucker, A. Rocco, M.L. Giudici, S. Boattin, M. Colombo. - In: BULLETIN OEPP. - ISSN 0250-8052. - 45:1(2015 Apr 01), pp. 123-127. [10.1111/epp.12183]
Abstract:
The rice water weevil Lissorhoptrus oryzophilus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Brachycerinae)
was detected in Northern Italy in 2004. As Italy is the major European rice producer, and
the rice water weevil is considered to be one of the major pests of rice in the world, a
multiyear study was carried out to determine the spread of the pest in Northern Italy, to
evaluate its establishment potential and to improve the knowledge on its biology in this
new habitat. The survey allowed the distribution of the insect in Italian rice areas to be
evaluated and confirmed that L. oryzophilus behaves as a monovoltine parthenogenetic
species in Northern Italy. Information about the phenology of the insect and its
management are also provided.
