WHO CAUSES IT?
Aergonius sp., Asynonychus sp., Brachysternus sp., Graphognatus sp., Sericoides spp., among others, are beetles that affect various crops, including berries. These insects go through several stages: egg, larva, pupa and adult. Adults lay their eggs in the soil or on host plants. The larvae, which emerge from the eggs, feed on the roots and underground parts of plants, causing significant damage. This larval period can last several months, during which the larvae go through multiple larval stages, growing and shedding their cuticle at each stage. Subsequently, the larvae pupate in the soil, and this pupal stage lasts a few weeks. Finally, the adults emerge, ready to reproduce and restart the cycle. The longevity of adults varies, but they can generally live several weeks to months, during which they may cause additional damage to the aboveground parts of plants.

SYMPTOMS
In berries, infestation by Coleoptera generates a series of symptoms that affect the health and performance of the plants. Damage occurs both in the roots and in the aerial parts, weakening the plants and affecting their capacity to absorb nutrients and water.
- Roots with galleries and feeding damage.
- Plant wilting due to the loss of functional roots.
- Leaves with holes and irregular edges due to feeding by adults.
- Reduction in plant growth and vigor.
- Damage to fruits that can lead to premature fall.
- Presence of adults and larvae in the soil and on plants.
