Definiția și Sensul lui "seed weevil"

What is a "seed weevil"?

A seed weevil is a type of beetle that specifically targets seeds, infesting and feeding on a wide variety of plants and crops. These small insects possess a long snout-like mouthpart that allows them to pierce through seeds and lay their eggs inside. The larvae of seed weevils develop within the seeds, causing damage and reducing the viability of the affected plants. Seed weevils are known for their ability to target and impact various agricultural crops, including grains, legumes, and oilseeds. Controlling the population of seed weevils is crucial to protect crop yields and ensure the successful germination and growth of plants.
