DEFENSE AGAINST HERBIVOROUS INSECTS.The identification and manipulation of chemical compounds involved in vital activities arthropods have the potential for developing less aggressive pest control strategies.Herbivory induces emission volatile organic recruitment natural enemies, plantplant interactions repellency other herbivores.In this report, we review main groups their ecological functions, provide an overview signal transduction pathways activated upon herbivory, current state...
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....
TECHNOLOGIES.Food production and preservation of the environment are among challenges faced by contemporary society.In Brazil, as in most parts world, possibility increasing agricultural area is limited several factors.Thus, an increase productivity through application innovative technologies regarded best solution to overcome such a problem.For long, chemistry has contributed innovations synthetic pesticides for pest management.However, due well-known adverse effects these compounds, new...
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...
The essential oil (EO) from different genotypes of Lippia gracilis Schauer (Verbenaceae) present two distinctive chemotypes containing either thymol or its isomer carvacrol as major compounds, both which have proven bioactivity against several agricultural pests. Recently, we shown that L. accession LGRA 106 and compound are toxic repellent the coconut mite, Aceria guerreronis Keifer (Acari: Eriophyidae), a key pest plantations in Asia, Africa America. Since intraspecific variation affects...
