- Abstract
Rhynchophorus palmarum is one of the most important pests for the coconut palm industry in Mexico. Although its biological cycle is closely related to palms, there is increasing evidence that indicates the use of other host plants to complete its development. This report describes the use of collapsed papaya stems as plant material in which the development of R. palmarum could be evidenced in Armería, Colima, Mexico. Rhynchophorus palmarum es una de las plagas más importantes para la industria de la palma de coco en México. Aunque su ciclo biológico está íntimamente relacionado a las palmas, cada vez surge evidencia que apuntan el uso de otras plantas hospederas para completar su desarrollo. En el presente documento se reporta el uso de tallos de papayo derrumbados como material vegetal en el que se pudo evidenciar el desarrollo de R. palmarum en Armería, Colima, México.
