Notes: Scientists have discovered a natural remedy to combat the eucalyptus snout beetle, a pest that inflicts severe damage on eucalyptus forest plantations. Also known as the eucalyptus weevil, this leaf-feeding beetle is a significant defoliator of eucalypts, causing stunted growth and substantial losses. Indigenous to Australia, it has spread to various countries worldwide where eucalypts are cultivated, often hitching rides on the transport of forest products due to its impressive flight capability.
