Metarhizium species can be mutualistic symbionts of plants. They are able to colonize roots, promote plant growth and provide protection against pests. We previously found robertsii M. brunneum associated with coffee roots in a diversified system. Here, we investigated whether these fungi, when inoculated seedlings, associate improve seedling indirectly protect the leaf miner (CLM) Leucoptera coffeella (Lepidoptera: Lyonetiidae). performed greenhouse experiment seedlings using suspensions...
Maconellicoccus hirsutus (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) is a polyphagous pest, attacks several crops of economic importance, including cocoa and coffee. Due to its rapid dissemination, studies are needed develop management programs combat this as few seek the effectiveness alternative products such plant extracts, which can be promising in control. Therefore, work aimed evaluate efficiency aqueous extract fruits chili pepper Capsicum frutescens (Solanaceae) pink hibiscus mealybug. The tests...
Objetivou-se com este trabalho avaliar o efeito acaricida de extratos aquosos flores, folhas e sementes Moringa oleifera visando controle Tetranychus urticae. Os experimentos foram realizados em laboratório avaliando a toxicidade e, posteriormente, estimou-se concentração letal 50% (CL50). O ensaio foi realizado placas Petri contendo um disco folha Canavalia ensifomis. A pulverização realizada aerógrafo. tóxicos para ácaro, destacando-se extrato aquoso sementes. dados mortalidade...
Plant indirect induced defenses against herbivores are characterized by the production of plant volatiles that to attract natural enemies. The objective this study was evaluate whether attack two-spotted spider mite Tetranychus urticae or multiple herbivory T. together with fall armyworm Spodoptera frugiperda able elicit defense in conventional and Bt maize plants. experiment carried out laboratory using Y-tube olfactometer, evaluating predatory Neoseiulus californicus olfactory preference...
The use of extracts and oils obtained from plants has been suggested as an alternative control pests, because they are selective, biodegradable have few effects on non-target organism. Therefore, the objective this study was to value effect aqueous extract leaves neem (Azadirachta indica), fruits chili pepper (Capsicum frutescens) rough oil jatropha (Jatropha curcas) in different concentrations, order management cabbage aphid Brevicoryne brassicae. mortality individuals accessed function...
RESUMO: A cochonilha-da-roseta, Planococcus citri (Risso, 1813) (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae), constitui um problema fitossanitário na cultura do café. O controle mais usual dessa praga é o químico, que pode acarretar, além de problemas socioambientais, a seleção indivíduos resistentes. Com isso, torna-se necessário alternativo. Dessa forma, objetivo deste trabalho foi estudar, em condições laboratório, potencial inseticida diferentes partes da planta Jatropha curcas , variadas concentrações,...
Plants present constitutive or induced defense mechanisms against herbivory. In addition, studies show that there are interactions between these different when multiple species infestations occur. This study investigated the interaction maize defensive to control two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch (Acari: Tetranychidae) under single and double with this mite fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae). The experiment was carried out in a greenhouse...
O alto custo socioeconômico e ambiental dos agroquímicos proporcionou a busca de alternativas eficientes ecologicamente compatíveis no controle pragas. emprego produtos derivados plantas torna-se uma alternativa promissora. Devido à utilização indiscriminada não registrados para o Planococcus citri, objetivou-se avaliar presente trabalho potencial uso Jatropha curcas. Foram utilizados indivíduos com 10, 15, 20 25 dias idade. As concentrações usadas experimento foram 0,0; 0,5; 1,0; 1,5; 2,0;...
(Hypocreales: Clavicipitaceae) has a multifunctional life cycle, establishing as plant endophyte and acting entomopathogenic fungi.
Myzus persicae vem provocando prejuízos em diversas hortícolas. A utilização de inseticidas químicos proporcionando graves problemas na agricultura e meio ambiente. Métodos alternativos controle têm-se tornado uma ferramenta eficaz no manejo pragas, como a plantas inseticidas. Com o objetivo reduzir e/ou substituir os agrotóxicos sintéticos por produtos ecologicamente corretos, este trabalho visou estudar potencialidade inseticida do óleo Jatropha curcas sobre pulgão verde da couve,...

Maize (Zea mays) is a Poaceae of great global importance, which requires technological investment, such as the Bt events, for herbivores populational control can cause low productivity. This study aims to create parallel between metabolomics behavior maize variety and its isoline under influence provoked by two-spotted spider mite damage. Differences in identified ions concentration distribution were observed coming from monosaccharides, jasmonic acid methyl jasmonate ionizations,...
