IMPLICATION.The pheromones of the weevils has been most studied and used so far for Coleoptera species.The majority reported weevil is produced by males usually attract both sexes.The identified pheromone compounds are classified in two categories: ten-carbon with terpenoid branching various sizes, apparently fatty-acid origin.These structural categories consistent within subfamilies.This review aims to give an overview aggregation Curculionidae pests, describing relationship molecules...
Processing of cassava roots into flour or starch results in different waste products, which include a yellowish liquid referred to Brazil as manipueira . This wastewater contains large quantities cyanide formed from the hydrolysis cyanogenic glycosides, acts natural plant defence. Studies conducted over past 30 years have looked possible applications agricultural processes such pest management. A number studies demonstrated its potential pesticide against nematodes, fungi and arthropods....
Ecological succession is a complex processes involving changes in the structure of plant community and it an important factor determining arboreal ants assemblages, but little known about effects on ant assemblages regions Tropical Dry Forests (TDFs), such as Brazilian Caatinga. The aim this study was to investigate ecological richness species composition fragments Caatinga, testing following hypothesis: i) increases along gradient forest succession, response tree and/or density; ii) differs...
Abstract The Brazilian soybean stalk weevil, Sternechus subsignatus Boehman (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), is a pest of economic importance in many regions Brazil. Volatiles from both sexes S. were collected by aeration and the behavioural response males females was evaluated using Y‐olfactometer. results obtained demonstrate that communication mediated aggregation pheromone as attracted to host plant (HP) volatiles, this attraction increased addition male volatiles. At least five...
Espécies de Diptera, principalmente as moscas, tem se mostrado como potenciais bioindicadores para mudanças ambientais. Para captura destes animais, há diferentes métodos, incluindo armadilhas com atrativos alimentares. Neste estudo, avaliar a eficiência na moscas usando isca melaço cana-de-açúcar, foram avaliados os parâmetros ecológicos: abundância, riqueza e composição espécies comparando períodos exposição das em campo: 24, 48, 72 96h. A abundância apresentaram mudança significativa...
The coffee leaf miner, Leucoptera coffeella (Guérin-Méneville) (Lepidoptera: Lyonetiidae), is the main pest of plantations in Brazil.Indiscriminate chemical control has been used frequently to attack L. coffeella, causing serious problems environment.To avoid such problems, new techniques have developed this pest.A technique lepidopteran pests, called mating disruption, aims obstruct communication among sexual partners.The potential pheromone-mediated disruption for miner population was...
Abstract Brassolis sophorae (Linnaeus), the coconut palm caterpillar, is a pest in Northeast region of Brazil. Despite its great importance, information about biology and behaviour this insect scarce. B. caterpillars are gregarious, they remain nest during daytime only come out at dusk to feed. When leave forage, lay down trail silk that leads group feeding site. In spite this, there no scientific evidence showing whether trail‐following mediated by silk‐associated chemical cues. This...
Plant herbivore interactions have long been recognized as a complex interplay influenced by various factors, including plant volatile emissions. Understanding the role of these volatiles in mediating predator is crucial for developing sustainable pest management strategies. This study investigated olfactory preferences
Abstract Leaf‐cutting ants (LCA) try to reduce the risk of contamination in their colonies by avoiding contact with nest refuse (NR), as it can harbor substances harmful them and symbiotic fungi. Here, we tested whether an aqueous extract 10% (vol/vol) NR leaf‐cutting ant Atta opaciceps Borgmeier (Hymenoptera: Formicidae, Attini) causes a deterrent effect. We placed leaves Hibiscus rosa‐sinensis L. (Malvaceae) sprayed or distilled water (control) foraging areas 12 – eight A. four sexdens...
The coconut moth Atheloca subrufella Hulst (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) is considered an important pest of crops in Brazil, which the fourth largest global producer. Concerning economic importance this crop and aiming to increase knowledge related biological control, present research aimed records first occurrence Venturia sp. (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) parasitizing A. caterpillars State Sergipe, Brazil. Coconuts infested by were collected plantation kept Entomology Laboratory (Universidade...
Leaf-cutting ants manage their waste continuously to avoid risks of colony contamination. The presence residues or odor near foraging areas is enough for stop attacking plant tissues. However, date, no study has demonstrated an interspecific effect nest on the deterrence leaf-cutting ants. Here, we tested whether a hydroalcoholic extract refuse (NR) Acromyrmex balzani Emery, 1890 and Atta opaciceps Borgmeier (Hymenoptera: Formicidae, Attini) causes deterrent effect. Field colonies Ac. (n =...
