Bronze Bug Thaumastocoris Peregrinus Carpintero and Dellapé (Hemiptera: Thaumastocoridae) on Eucalyptus in Brazil its Distribution The bronze bug peregrinus & was detected infesting trees 2008, the states of Sao Paulo, Rio Grande do Sul Minas Gerais 2009 found state Espírito Santo, Mato Grosso Sul, de Janeiro Paraná. Details about geographical spread, means introduction, impact plantations natural enemies observed field are discussed.
Abstract Galling herbivores induce structural and chemical alterations in their host plant's tissues. These insects have been the focus of little study case Australian taxa. Leptocybe invasa , a native galling hymenopteran associated with Eucalyptus species, causes economic damage to plantation eucalypts many countries around world. oviposits midribs petioles expanding leaves thereby intercepting photosynthates impairing normal expansion. We analysed ultrastructural cellular changes L. galls...
The plantation and natural forests of South America have been highly impacted by native exotic pests in recent decades. interaction emerging invasive pests, climate change, timber markets will define the region’s forests, with significant but uncertain ecological changes economic losses expected. Southern Cone Forest Health Group (SCFHG), a joint ad hoc initiative run forest health professionals from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Uruguay, aims to strengthen relationships between forestry...
Abstract Exotic Eucalyptus spp. are the most planted trees species in forest cultivation Brazil. The red gum lerp psyllid Glycaspis brimblecombei Moore (Hemiptera: Aphalaridae), an invasive exotic pest, reduces development and wood production of plantations. search for natural enemies targeting egg life stage is beneficial integrated pest management G. brimblecombei. objective this work was to test a range Coccinellidae that potentially prey on eggs. Cycloneda sanguinea Linnaeus, Eriopsis...
Temperature affects the development, population dynamics, reproduction and size of insects. Thaumastocoris peregrinus Carpintero et Dellape (Heteroptera: Thaumastocoridae) is a eucalyptus pest. The objective this study was to determine biological life table parameters T. on Eucalyptus benthamii at five temperatures (18 °C; 22 25 27 °C 30 °C) with relative humidity (RH) 70 ± 10% photoperiod 12 hours. duration each instar longevity insect were inversely proportional temperature, regardless...
Thaumastocoris peregrinus Carpintero and Dellape (Hemiptera: Thaumastocoridae) is a sap-sucking insect that has become major pest of eucalypts. The entomopathogenic fungi Beauveria bassiana (Bals.-Criv.) Vuill. Metarhizium anisopliae (Metsch.) Sorokin have the potential to control pests. This study evaluated susceptibility T. two commercial products based on conidia B. M. anisopliae. were sprayed onto adults at concentration 1 × 108 mL−1 evaluate their pathogenicity conidial production...
Abstract The bronze bug, Thaumastocoris peregrinus , an Australian native insect, has become a nearly worldwide invasive pest in the last 16 years and been causing significant damage to eucalypts (Myrtaceae), including Eucalyptus spp. Corymbia Its rapid expansion leads new questions about pathways routes that T. used invade other continents countries. We mtDNA characterize specimens of collected from 10 countries where this species established, six recently invaded countries: Chile, Israel,...
Brazil is among the world's largest producers of eucalyptus and damage caused by native invasive insect pests one main factors affecting yield. The recent history biological invasions in prompts demand for phytosanitary measures to prevent new invasions. This study used ecological niche models estimate suitable areas nine pests. information was assess potential ports entry, generate invasion risk maps considering likelihood introducing species, producing municipalities within species'...
Thaumastocoris peregrinus Carpintero and Dellapé (Hemiptera: Thaumastocoridae), damages eucalyptus plants by sucking their sap. This pest can be controlled releases of the egg parasitoid Cleruchoides noackae Lin Huber (Hymenoptera: Mymaridae). Increasing survival this is critically important for its mass rearing in order to release large numbers integrated programs manage T. peregrinus. The aim study was evaluate longevity C. adults fed various honey concentrations at 6 constant...
Efficient strategies to control the bronze bug Thaumastocoris peregrinus Carpintero and Dellapé (Hemiptera: Thaumastocoridae) are unavailable, but Cleruchoides noackae Lin Huber (Hymenoptera: Mymaridae) parasitizes eggs of this pest. The parasitism number parasitoids that emerged from T. were evaluated in laboratory pest collected field an area approximately 2 ha. Collections done 1 yr after first release C. check for establishment parasitoid eucalyptus plantations Minas Gerais State,...
Avaliou-se a eficiência de larvas primeiro ínstar Chrysoperla externa no controle Myzus persicae em pimentão, experimentos realizados câmara e sala climatizadas 25 ± 1ºC, UR 70 10% fotofase 12 horas. Larvas C. recém-eclodidas foram liberadas discos foliares, contendo 5; 10 ou 20 ninfas do afídeo, acondicionados placas Petri. Em um segundo experimento, predador nas proporções 1:5, 1:10 1:20, plantas inoculadas com 60; 100 140 pulgão. O potencial predatório nos foliares foi influenciado pela...
A busca por informações para o controle de Thaumastocoris peregrinus (Hemiptera: Thaumastocoridae) em Eucalyptus concentra-se no uso técnicas biológico, entre elas, fungos entomopatogênicos. Assim, objetivo deste trabalho, foi avaliar a patogenicidade isolados Beauveria bassiana e Isaria sp. sobre condições laboratório. Para isto, foram testados quatro um isolado na concentração 1,0 × 108 conídios.mL-1. solução aplicada folhas camaldulensis, fornecidas como substrato alimentação aos insetos,...
Abstract The Thaumastocoris peregrinus spread to eucalyptus plantations in many countries. Chemical control is a questionable measure, mainly due the environmental impact, high cost and moreover has use restricted by forest certifications. Bio-insecticides may have similar efficiency chemical products T. . thiamethoxam, thiamethoxam + lambda-cyhalothrin, acephate microbial Beauveria bassiana Metarhizium anisopliae insecticides were tested at different doses manage sprayed on plants using...
The common black field cricket, Gryllus assimilis (Orthoptera: Gryllidae), damages young plants of red cedar, Juniperus virginiana (Cupressaceae); strawberry, Fragaria × ananassa (Rosaceae); sugarcane, Saccharum officinarum (Poaceae); teak, Tectona grandis (Lamiaceae); upland cotton, Gossypium hirsutum (Malvaceae); and, mainly, Eucalyptus spp. (Myrtaceae). objective this study was to investigate the biological and behavioral parameters insect in laboratory plantations Inhambupe, Bahia State,...
Hemiptera, Thaumastocoridae) in eucalyptus trees the State of Parana, Brazil.The insect was observed June at 2009, Curitiba region.
Blue gum chalcid, Leptocybe invasa Fisher & La Salle (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae), causes galling damage to Eucalyptus species (Myrtaceae) in various regions of the world, but has been controlled effectively by its primary parasitoid, Selitrichodes neseri Kelly Eulophidae). The objectives this study were evaluate recovery S. after initial release on plants Brazil and provide data biology. was imported from South Africa for biological control L. invasa, Mar 2015, recovered Aug 2015 Dec 2016....
Thaumastocoris peregrinus is an introduced “true bug” that now a severe pest in Eucalyptus plantations of various Southern Hemisphere countries. The semiochemicals thaumastocorids are completely unknown. Therefore, volatile chemicals from T. nymphs and adults were identified as possible leads for pheromones potentially useful control. contents nymphal exocrine glands, which shed at molting, extracts exuviae. Adults lack functional metathoracic scent glands characteristic most heteropterans;...
