Baiting and Application of Chemicals for Acoushi Ant Control.pdf

January 13, 2009 · Filed Under Agricultural Engineering  · Tags: , ,

Taken from Introduction: Acoushi drugger or leaf-cutting ants are major pests wherever they occur. They can, therefore, be considered as general insect pests and are usually rated as the most destructive insect in the Americas, the only region where they occur.

They are familiarly known in Guyana as leaf-cutting, fungus growing and mound-building ants. They are highly polyphagous i.e. destroying most crop species. The plant material that they cut is not utilized directly as food, rather, it is used as substrate for a fungus which the ants cultivate and consume. The fact that the vegetation is used only as base material (Figure 1) for the insect’s only food, the fungus allows them to exploit a wide range of plant species.
