Em razão sua importância, objetivou-se com este trabalho realizar levantamento acarofauna presente cultivos município São Luís - Maranhão. As amostragens foram realizadas mensalmente, período agosto 2012...
In this work, the compatibility of babassu and degummed soybean oils to Typhlodromus ornatus (Acari: Phytoseiidae) was evaluated through integration estimates lethal concentration (LC) with non-lethal effects repellency population growth rate. Concentration-mortality bioassays showed that (LC50 = 5.03 μL/cm2) 4.14 were approximately 19 28 times less toxic T. ornatus, respectively, in comparison its prey Aceria guerreronis Eriophyidae). Babassu oil not repellent but had a effect at different...
The whitefly Aleurodicus cocois is one of the main pests cashew, Anacardium occidentale L. in Brazil. use essential oils and their constituents an alternative means controlling with low risk to natural enemies. In present study, chemical profile toxicity a mixture Lippia sidoides Cham. (Verbenaceae) Cymbopogon winterianum Jowitt. (Poaceae) on third fourth nymphal stages A. were evaluated, as well predator Chrysoperla externa (Hagen, 1861) (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae). Thymol ρ-cymene majority...
The present study describes the morphology of antennal sensilla adults Gymnetis holosericea (Voet, 1779) and rufilateris (Illiger, 1800). spp. were sexed antenna males females dissected. Both species have chaetica, trichodea, placodea (type I II), coeloconica ampullacea (or pore). Females G. a total about 19,995 23,273 sensilla, 16,633 21,184 sensilla. Sensilla are predominant type in rufilateris.
Amblyseius largoensis and Typhlodromus ornatus (Acari: Phytoseiidae) are generalist predatory mites that naturally inhabit coconut plantations other tropical crops. We assessed the suitability of two pest mites, Raoiella indica Tenuipalpidae) Aceria guerreronis Eriophyidae); storage mite Tyrophagus putrescentiae Acaridae); honey; pollens castor bean, Ricinus communis, cattail, Typha domingensis, their mixture, as food sources for mass rearing A. T. ornatus. Both pollens, supplied singly or...
Citrus black fly Aleurocanthus woglumi Asbhy is an important citrus pest because it causes significant losses in production. The objective of this study was to evaluate the incidence and distribution A. egg laying, eggs nymphs on latifolia (Tahiti acid lime) plants grown under different fertilizer applications. experiment carried out a orchard municipality Paço do Lumiar, MA, Brazil. A randomized block design 3×5×3 factorial arrangement (three evaluation times, five treatments, three plant...
Typhlodromus (Anthoseius) ornatus Denmark & Muma (Acari: Phytoseiidae) is one of the predatory mites associated with coconut mite Aceria guerreronis Eriophyidae), considered a severe pest plantations worldwide. In addition to mites, vegetable oils such as degummed soybean and babassu have shown high efficiency in controlling A. guerreronis. Here, we evaluated effects on functional response oviposition T. (A.) preying Exposure tested did not alter either or attack rate ornatus. The variation...
