“…Application of broad-spectrum chemical insecticide is recommended for management of S. acupunctatus (Solís et al 2001, Terán-Vargas et al 2012). However, some molecules do not adequately control the pest, because larvae and adults live inside the piña of the agave plant (Cuervo-Parra et al 2019). The habit allows the insect to avoid contact with insecticide.…”

“…El porcentaje de severidad encontrado en las plantaciones varió del 10 al 100 %. En otros reportes se ha mencionado que S. acupunctatus puede ocasionar daños del 24 al 100 % en A. tequilana, del 46 % en A. angustifolia, del 50 % en A. fourcroydes y del 30 al 40 % en A. salmiana (Cuervo-Parra et al, 2019), lo cual corrobora la necesidad de entender los factores bióticos y abióticos que influyen en los niveles de daño que causa S. acupuntatus en los magueyes. En la presente investigación se encontró que el manejo agrícola y la variedad de maguey pulquero son factores que influyen en el porcentaje de severidad en plantas causado por la alimentación de S. acupunctatus.…”

“…acupunctatus is controlled with contact pesticides such as malathion and endosulfan, which pollute the environment, and their residues remain in both the soil and agave plants. Misuse of these products increases resistance of insect pest populations and causes intoxication to farmworkers [16][17][18]. Biological control with entomopathogenic agents is an alternative for management of this coleopteran because S. acupunctatus larvae and adults are susceptible to infection caused by entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) and entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) [19][20][21].…”
