Termites are well -known for their capacity to damage and destroy wood products of all kinds in the tropics subtropics. A field test was undertaken evaluate variations consumption Pinus sp. three species Eucalyptus by subterranean termites. The consisted wooden stakes each being initially submitted water immersion 0, 24, 48 72 h, buried ground natural infestation termites an exposure period 30, 45 60 days. Three were identified: Heterotermes longiceps (Snyder), Coptotermes gestroi (Wasmann)...
The purpose of this study is to report the presence in Brazil two predatory thrips species feeding on mites commercial hop plantations (Humulus lupulus, Cannabaceae). mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch, known as two-spotted spider mite (TSSM) and a major pest several crops, including hop, threatening yields by damaging leaf tissues and, severe cases, covering foliage with webs. It native Eurasia but now present globally, wide range natural enemies, commercially used biological controls such...
Studies show that Apiaceae may provide concentrated vital resources for predator insects, stimulating their abundance, diversity and persistence in agricultural systems, thereby increasing efficiency as biological control agents. Among the predatory Coccinellidae (Coleoptera) on many different species both larvae adults, complementing diet with pollen and/or nectar. This study aimed to determine relative abundance of visiting plants Anethum graveolens (dill), Coriandrum sativum (coriander)...
Plans for an agro-ecological system agricultural production must consider vegetal diversification in properties because, among other advantages, it can help the biological control of pests when focuses on such end. Predator ladybeetles (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) be found different environments; they play important role control. The aims present study were to feature ladybeetle populations through faunistic analysis and determine their fluctuations comprising seven sub-systems subjected...
This paper evaluated the infestation of two passion fruit species by tephritids and lonchaeids in municipalities southeastern Brazil. Floral buds sweet (Passiflora alata) yellow edulis f. flavicarpa) were collected Seropédica (RJ) Vila Valério (ES), respectively. Fruits P. alata also Seropédica. Three Lonchaeidae obtained from floral (Neosilba zadolicha McAlpine & Steyskal, Neosilba sp. Dasiops longulus Norrbom McAlpine), four genera Tephritoidea fruits: Anastrepha pseudoparallela Loew...
As moscas frugívoras vêm assumindo grande importância econômica em cafezais por provocarem queda prematura de frutos e redução significativa da qualidade bebida. O café é um repositório natural espécies Tephritidae que infestam frutas econômica. Este estudo avaliou a influência dos sistemas sombreado pleno sol, sob manejo orgânico, na infestação Coffea arabica L. Icatu Amarelo frugívoras. Um experimento inteiramente casualizado foi instalado Valença, RJ, com dois tratamentos (café Musa sp....
Este estudo descreve a fauna de insetos predadores, parasitóides e formigas associada pulgões em couve (Brassica oleracea L. var. acephala D.C.), cultivada sistema orgânico. O pulgão foi identificado como Lipaphis pseudobrassicae Davis, sendo este o primeiro registro da espécie atacando no Brasil. Parasitismo primário por Diaeretiella sp. Aphidius hiperparasitismo Aphydencyrtus sp., Alloxysta Pachyneuron Syrphophagus foram observados. Vinte espécies Coccinellidae coletadas, que oito delas...
As formigas do gênero Atta são pragas importantes de diversas culturas agrícolas, pastagens e reflorestamentos. Os fungos entomopatogênicos estão entre os fatores naturais mortalidade dessas por isso apresentam potencial para serem usados no controle biológico dessa praga. O presente trabalho teve como objetivo selecionar isolados Metarhizium anisopliae Beauveria bassiana patogênicos a soldados bisphaerica sexdens rubropilosa em condições laboratório. Para avaliação da patogenicidade, foram...
O consórcio de culturas é comumente praticado na produção hortaliças devido a diversos benefícios econômicos. Em alguns casos, podem reduzir infestações pragas por favorecer conservação dos inimigos naturais nos agroecossistemas. Avaliou-se viabilidade agronômica do couve e coentro, sob manejo orgânico, com base em parâmetros fitotécnicos, além sua influência sobre populações joaninhas (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae), comparação os respectivos cultivos solteiros. representando cultura...
Parasitoids associated with five species of Anastrepha were recovered from host fruits that belong to 12 plants growing in Seropedica city, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. We six native hymenopteran parasitoid species: Doryctobracon areolatus (Szepligeti), Utetes (Bracanastrephae) anastrephae (Viereck), Opius bellus Gahan (Braconidae, Opiinae), Aganaspis pelleranoi (Brethes) (Figitidae, Eucoilinae), Trichopria Lima (Diapriidae, Diapriinae) and an unidentified Pteromalidae. The most abundant was D....
This study aimed to characterize the fruit fly populations in three municipalities of Northern region and two Northwestern Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil, evaluate similarity among their populations. A faunistic analysis was performed from specimens captured plastic McPhail traps with an aqueous solution hydrolyzed protein 5% placed orchards guava (Psidium guajava L.) and/or other fruits during 26 months. The total 3,952 females 15 species Anastrepha Schiner 277 Ceratitis capitata (Wied.)...
Nasutitermes corniger shows preferential feeding for the wood of different tree species, but it is not known whether attractiveness a function state decay. This study examined foraging behavior N. towards in stages Wood was exposed to weather durations 0, 3, 6 or 9 months. Then placed standard arena with termites. Exploration and recruitment were recorded 1 h. Separate bioassays conducted three species: Pinus elliottii, Eucalyptus grandis Manilkara huberi. In tests P. elliottii E. grandis,...
Abstract Larvae and adults of certain species predator lady beetles feed on pollen, guaranteeing their survival, at times, reproduction in the absence preferred prey. Palynology, therefore, may contribute investigation botanical families visited by these predators order to obtain this floral resource. There are records visitation Apiaceae flowers Coleomegilla maculata DeGeer, 1775 (Coleoptera, Coccinellidae), but not ingestion pollen grains beetle. The external morphology three aromatic...
Este trabalho objetivou caracterizar as populações de moscas-das-frutas quatro municípios da Região Noroeste do estado Rio Janeiro (Bom Jesus Itabapoana, Italva, Itaperuna e Natividade), desenvolvendo-se uma análise faunística dos espécimes coletados em armadilhas plásticas tipo McPhail, pomares comerciais goiaba (Psidium guajava L.) laranja doce (Citrus sinensis Osbeck) caseiros diversificados, durante dois anos.
