Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura) is an important pest of small fruits, which has been causing significant damage to commercial crops in North America, Europe, and South America. This mainly controlled with insecticide applications because its highly biotic potential polyphagy. However, studies conducted infested by D. have shown that this species attacked parasitoids may serve as effective biological controls for pest. The aim the current study assess lethal time (LT10 LT50) parasitism exposed...
Abstract Euschistus heros (Fabricius) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) primarily attack the pods and seeds of soybean plants, causing severe economic losses in Neotropical Region, chemical control is essential to avoid these losses. Thus, insecticides more effective against this pest less toxic Telenomus podisi Ashmead (Hymenoptera: Platygastridae) - main biological agent E . should be used. In report, we studied differential acute impacts pesticides used Brazilian T evaluated their sublethal...
This study presents the first results from analysis of water mites collected in Portugal as part Biodiversity Genomics Europe project. 307 COI DNA barcodes clustered into 75 BINs are provided, with 38 being unique and deposited for time Barcode Life Data Systems (BOLD). 65 species have been identified, which 36 new to mite fauna Portugal. Two species,
Abstract Anastrepha fraterculus (Wiedemann), Ceratitis capitata and Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura) are the main fruit pests in Brazil. Here, we evaluated susceptibility of Brazilian populations A. fraterculus, C. capitata, D. to selected insecticides. In ingestion bioassays, adults from a laboratory susceptible population each species were exposed five different modes action insecticide. Then, field diagnostic concentrations evaluate possible changes susceptibility. Our findings indicate...
The South American fruit fly, Anastrepha fraterculus (Diptera: Tephritidae) stands out for its polyphagous habit of damaging the production several fruits in southern Brazil. This study aimed to evaluate capture efficiency A. using grape juice at different periods decomposition and aging as well test enzymatic hydrolyzed protein Cera Trap® feijoa crops. work was conducted a commercial orchard São Joaquim, SC, Brazil during 2014 growing season. Undiluted Trap®, fresh that had aged 7 14 days...
Plant resistance is a key strategy for the management of Oryzophagus oryzae (Costa Lima) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), an important pest in South American rice paddies. The present study investigated cultivars terms feeding and oviposition preference, growth, development, biological performance O. under natural conditions field infestation during two consecutive seasons. There were no effects six on preferences as evaluated 5, 8, 11 d After Flooding (DAF) plots, indicating absence...
ABSTRACT Strawberry cultivation under semi-hydroponic conditions has increased in the Southern region of Brazil since it facilitates management, besides avoiding weather adversities, pests and diseases. However, protected environment can hamper access pollinator insects, essential for crop productivity. This work aimed to know entomofauna associated with strawberry cultivar Albion cultivated identify potential species native pollinating bees. Insects were captured at different times day...
Oryzophagus oryzae (Costa Lima) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) is a major pest of flooded rice paddies throughout South America, and species with very similar life histories are present in many rice-producing regions the world (collectively water weevils, RWWs). The damage caused by RWW larvae on cultivars contrasting levels resistance ('BRS Pampa CL'= 'Pamp': susceptible, 'BRS Atalanta' = 'Atal': resistant-antibiosis) was evaluated two consecutive years field under seven infestation levels: 0,...
A cultura da soja é atacada por diversos insetos-praga, divididos principalmente em mastigadores e sugadores. O percevejo-marrom-da-soja (Euschistus heros) tem se destacado como uma das principais pragas sugadoras causar danos, principalmente, no estágio reprodutivo cultura. Neste trabalho objetivou-se avaliar o efeito de inseticidas utilizados para mastigadoras sobre ovos, ninfas adultos Euschistus heros. Foi avaliada a mortalidade adultos, além do sub-letal fecundidade dos adultos. Foram...
In this study we used the average annual temperature in Brazil and four warming predictions to propose a maximum thermal threshold for predatory mite Cosmolaelaps brevistilis (Karg, 1978) (Mesostigmata: Laelapidae) as an experimental model. Then, evaluated effects of on biological parameters C. conservation control. We observed higher rates oviposition predation prey Tyrophagus putrescentiae (Schrank, 1781) (Astigmatina: Acaridae) under warmer conditions at 75 ± 10% RH. The highest...
