Abstract BACKGROUND Botanical compounds from plant species are known to have pesticidal activity and been used in integrated pest management programs. The varied spectrum of the action these can also avoid selection resistance populations. In this study, mixtures botanical geraniol, eugenol cinnamaldehyde were encapsulated zein nanoparticles improve their stability efficiency. Biological effects nano‐scale formulations evaluated against two agricultural pests: two‐spotted spider mite (...
Abstract Spodoptera frugiperda is a pest of economic importance for several crops with resistance reports to Bt and pesticides. Eco-friendly biopesticides may be an alternative chemical insecticides due their selectivity specificity. However, the efficacy influenced by association other chemicals, such as adjuvants. This study evaluated compatibility toxicity mixed adjuvants control S. . The treatments included Dipel SC PM Compatibility tests were used evaluate mixture. suspensions obtained...
Essential oils and their derivatives are eco-friendly biopesticides that can contribute to reducing the use of synthetic pesticides in agricultural pest control, offering advantages including less harm humans environment. This work concerns hydrogel-based repellent systems containing botanical compounds were emulsified or encapsulated zein nanoparticles. The hydrogels prepared according a two-step process involving molding cross-linking. They presented good rheological properties, even at...
Recent studies have shown that entomopathogenic fungi, as endophytes, can beneficial effects on plants, protecting them from defoliating insects. The potential of endophytic association by fungi with the peanut crop has been little explored. In our study, we conducted experiments inoculation seeds through a soil drench method nine strains/species genera Metarhizium, Beauveria and Cordyceps, subsequently these plants were consumed two larval pests, Chrysodeixis includens Spodoptera...
Abstract Biological control is one of the strategies to reduce populations diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella (Linnaeus) (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae), major pest brassica. Entomopathogen-based biopesticides are recommended and used for its control, reducing constant use chemical pesticides. Predators and/or fungal entomopathogens have an increasing interest be against compatibility these agents in field important management. Here we experimentally investigate effects moth larvae treated...
Abstract Background Entomopathogenic fungi have low persistence in the field because of UV light, high temperatures and humidity. Thus, this study's objective was to correlate Beauveria bassiana Metarhizium anisopliae soybean leaf by measuring mortality sub-lethal effects Helicoverpa armigera (Hubner) (Lepidoptera/Noctuidae). In 2017–2018 2019–2020 seasons, experiments were conducted on plots subdivided a completely randomized design. After spraying each plot with fungal, either B. or M. ,...
Brazil is the world’s largest producer of soybean (Glycine max), an extremely important legume due to its source proteins and essential oils for humans animals, besides applications in various branches industry. The velvetbean caterpillar [Anticarsia gemmatalis Hübner (Lepidoptera: Erebidae)] a great pest that affects this crop has been controlled by chemical biological pesticides based on Bacillus thuringiensis. objectives work were prospect soil microorganisms,...
A lagarta-do-pescoço-vermelho Stegasta bosqueella, é apontada como principal praga da cultura do amendoim, (Arachis hypogaea L.), com danos em folíolos, brotações novas e gemas dos ponteiros. No cenário atual, o controle realizado uso de inseticidas químicos, ferramenta que pode acarretar problemas à saúde humana bem a seleção populações resistentes. Diante disso, utilização outras estratégias se faz necessário, neste bioinseticidas base vírus figura uma baixa toxicidade humana, aliado...
The complete analysis of the 16S rRNA gene some non-sporulating bacterial isolates from soil led us to a reliable taxonomic classification, allowing explore its entomopathogenic potential against insect-pest Spodoptera frugiperda. Many studies have shown rapid development resistance S. frugiperda in relation methods that been used recent decades. Therefore, new research exploring is important. Thus, comparative study between and partial classification based on was realized as basis for...
