The species of the Culicoides genus are hematophagous, and some them vectors important human animal diseases. This group insects is distributed worldwide, varying according to local species. Knowledge geographic distribution specific crucial for development implementation control strategies. aim this work was investigate occurrence in state Alagoas northeast Brazil. Midges were captured with CDC light traps, their identification morphological analyses performed by Ceratopogonidae Collection...
Extratos vegetais orgânicos e óleos emulsionáveis de Azadirachta indica A. Juss (Meliaceae) (nim) foram estudados com o objetivo avaliar seus efeitos no controle fêmeas ingurgitadas Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus (Canestrini, 1887) em laboratório. Foram utilizados extratos hexânicos alcoólicos a 2% (peso/volume), testes imersão, durante 5 minutos, preparados sementes, solubilizados dimetilsulfóxido (DMSO) 1%. O experimento foi inteiramente casualizado, sendo constituído por 6...
O objetivo deste trabalho foi verificar a ocorrência natural de T. alecto, parasitóide ovos Diatraea spp.em cana-de-
Diatraea flavipennella (Box) (Lepidoptera, Crambidae) is one of the most destructive pests in sugarcane plantations Northeast Region Brazil. Developmental characteristics and parasitism potential egg parasitoids Telenomus alecto Crawford (Hymenoptera, Scelionidae) Trichogramma galloi Zucchi Trichogrammatidae) were compared with aim selecting a suitable species for biological control D. flavipennella. Both T. developed well readily adapted to eggs as host. Although, presented higher...
The cashew stem borer Anthistarcha binocularis (Meyrick) is a major pest in orchards Brazil. damage caused by the larvae results economic losses, and available chemical control not suitable because of endophytic nature A. binocularis. identification sex pheromone could provide novel applications for detection monitoring this species.Two compounds from female gland extracts elicited electrophysiological responses on male antennae. They were identified as dodec-6-en-1-ol dodec-6-en-1-yl...
Neosilba spp. is firstly reported in physic nut fruits (Jatropha curcas), Rio Largo, State of Alagoas, Brazil. A total 438 specimens were found on 1,000 between May and July 2010. Five species recorded the Alagoas: zadolicha McAlpine & Steyskal 1982, glaberrima (Wiedemann, 1830), certa (Walker, 1850), pendula (Bezzi) bella Strikis Prado 2008. This first record J. curcas as host plant
Studies on frugivorous flies in Alagoas State, Brazil, have been limited to species of fruit (Tephritidae). This paper reports six Neosilba (Lonchaeidae) five municipalities State: bella, N. certa, glaberrima, inesperata, pendula and zadolicha.
The giant sugarcane borer Telchin licus (Drury, 1773) (Lepidoptera: Castniidae) is a day-flying moth pest of sugarcane, pineapples and bananas. To better understand the chemical communication in this species, we examined morphology its olfactory system composition body parts. ventral surface clubbed antennae T. has six morphological types sensilla: sensilla trichodea, basiconica, chaetica, squamiforma, coeloconica, auricillica. telescopic ovipositor shows no evidence sexual gland, or...
ABSTRACT The objective of this work was to assess the effects release and establishment exotic parasitoid Diachasmimorpha longicaudata (Ashmead, 1905) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) its interspecific competitive relationship with native fruit fly parasitoids in organic conventional orchards Maceio, State Alagoas, Brazil. were reared Radio-Entomology Laboratory Center for Nuclear Energy Agriculture, University São Paulo, Piracicaba, released (112,350 individuals between five eight days old) from...
Chrysopids (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae) are generalist predators that have application in the biological control of a range open-field and greenhouse pests. We investigated biology Leucochrysa (Nodita) azevedoi fed with nymphs adults Brevicoryne brassicae L. Toxoptera citricida (Kirkaldy 1907) (Hemiptera: Aphididae), eggs, pupae Aleurocanthus woglumi (Ashby) Aleurodicus magnificus (Costa Lima 1928) Aleyrodidae), established predatory capacity chrysopid by determining its functional responses...
With more than 633 species, Apanteles is the largest genus within subfamily Microgastrinae (Hymenoptera, Braconidae). We describe three new species reared from pests of commercial fruits, ahuacatl Shimbori, Giacomelli & Fernández-Triana sp. n., A. aratiku Shimbori and mayochinchipe n. They parasitize caterpillars in Stenomatinae (Depressariidae): soursop moth Cerconota anonella (Sepp), fruits sweetsop (Annona squamosa L.) atemoya x Annona cherimola Mill.) (Annonaceae), avocado borer Stenoma...
El presente trabajo propone como objetivo conocer la diversidad de moscas las frutas, sus hospederos y parasitoides en los municipios del Estado Alagoas, Brasil. En meses colecta se recolectaron un total 17.394 especímenes insectos frugívoros, estos, 14.993 (86,2 %) pertenecían al género Anastrepha (7.224 hembras 7.769 machos) 2.401 (13,8 a Ceratitis (1.196 1.205 machos). Maceió recolectó una nueva especie que, hasta el momento, denomina morfo-especie sp. mayor número obliqua asociada...
Este trabalho tem como objetivo conhecer a diversidade e os índices de infestação moscas frugívoras no Vale do Mundaú estado Alagoas. Os frutos foram coletados quinzenalmente forma aleatória em diferentes alturas da copa das frutíferas recém-caídos solo, que estavam boas condições conservação sem orifícios saída larvas. acondicionados bandejas plásticas (54 cm x 32 cm) etiquetadas com dados campo, contendo uma camada um areia peneirada esterilizada estufa circulação ar por 48h 80 ºC, para...

As intoxicações por agrotóxicos resultam da exposição ocupacional dos trabalhadores rurais, principalmente nas áreas agrícolas. Para reduzir esses problemas é necessário o uso de estratégias monitoramento e controle do manejo racional produtos químicos utilizados. O objetivou-se com trabalho avaliar perfil rurais meio entrevistas exames toxicológicos. estudo caracteriza-se uma pesquisa aplicada, característica exploratória, procedimento levantamento a partir amostra 50 agricultores....
A lagarta-parda do eucalipto, Thyrinteina arnobia (Stoll, 1782) (Lepidoptera: Geometridae), vem sendo relatada de forma significativa em povoamentos florestais. importância econômica para o setor florestal na atualidade evidencia a necessidade da consolidação Manejo Integrado Pragas Florestais (MIP Floresta), incluindo métodos monitoramento e controle através semioquímicos, como emprego feromônios. Os compostos químicos voláteis (COVs) substâncias cuticulares insetos podem contribuir...
ABSTRACT One of the factors that may affect and limit production in eucalypt plantations is attack defoliating insects. Among those, brown caterpillar, Thyrinteina arnobia (Stoll, 1782) (Lepidoptera: Geometridae), stands out for being major pest Eucalyptus spp. Brazil. Thus, present study aimed to investigate food consumption T. arnobia, its native host, guava (Psidium guajava L.), different E. urograndis clones (VE 41, I 144, TP 361 VCC 865). To assess consumption, choice non-choice tests...
