Bananas and plantains: toward sustainable global production and improved uses: abstracts. [Montepellier.]: [Bioversity International, 2011. p. 91.c2011  aThe study assessed the comparative effectiveness of daily and weekly collecting frequencies in controlling levels of banana weevil borer (Cosmopolites sordidus) and stripped banana borer (Metamasius hemipterus), using pseudostem "cheese" traps (where fermented sap exudate from cut pseudostem bases attracts the weevils). The experiment was conducted in two separate areas of 2 ha each, in 3-year old banana plantations of the cultivar 'Pacovan', in the municipality of Limoeiro, State of Ceará, Brazil.  aBanana beetles  aBanana crop  aManual collection1 aFANCELLI, M.1 aBRAGA SOBRINHO, R.
