General Biology
Research and publications on CRB general biology such as their life cycle, host material preferences and more.
Prevention
Research and publications on ways CRB can spread and tools to prevent that spread.
Cultural Control
Cultural control means changing the conditions where the pest is found to make it less hospitable for the pest. In this section, you will find publications and research on breeding material preferences and ways to treat breeding material to make it less hospitable for CRB.
Physical Control
Physical controls are typically barriers or traps that keep the pest away from a protected area or commodity. In this section you will find research and publications regarding traps, netting and other physical controls of CRB.
Biological Control
Biological control is the use of other organisms to control the pest. In this section you can find research about the different types of biological control for CRB such as Oryctes nudivirus and Metarhizium.
Chemical Control
Chemical controls are the application of a toxic or repellent substance to kill or repel the pest. In this section you will find research and publications on pesticides and other chemical treatments that can be used in CRB control.
