13. Selection of Trichogramma species as potential natural enemies for the control of Opogona sacchari (Bojer)
ABSTRACT: The banana moth Opogona sacchari (Bojer) (Lepidoptera: Tineidae) is a polyphagous pest that can cause serious damage, especially to banana crops in southern Brazil. It attacks the fruit, lowering its quality and making bananas unsuitable for export. Current control measures are limited and the use of Trichogramma (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae) fo

14. DROPLET SPECTRA AND SURFACE TENSION OF SPRAY SOLUTIONS BY BIOLOGICAL INSECTICIDE AND ADJUVANTS
ABSTRACT Biological insecticides can be another pest control method used in integrated pest management; hence there is a demand for scientific information about these products to understand the appropriate application technique. The aim of this study was to evaluate the spray spectra data by different nozzle types using biological insecticide isolated and wi

15. Seasonal population abundance of the assembly of solitary wasps and bees (Hymenoptera) according to land-use in Maranhão state, Brazil
ABSTRACT Solitary wasps and bees (Hymenoptera) play a key role in ecosystem and agroecosystem functioning. Crops may benefit from biological pest control and pollination carried out by predatory solitary wasps and solitary bees, respectively. Here, we aimed at evaluating the abundance and faunistic compositions of solitary wasps and bees in respect to land-u

16. Biological Control in Brazil: an overview
The use of Biological Control methods is on the increase, mainly as a result of the mobilization of human resources in entomology studies since the establishment of graduate programs in this country in the 1960s. This review approaches the retrospective of Biological Control in Brazil in recent decades, with an emphasis on the "culture of applying agrochemic

17. Effect of the insecticide Lambda-cyhalothrin on rice spider populations in southern Brazil
The adverse effect that insecticides have on spider populations is of major concern since these predators are a component in the biological control of rice insect pest populations. This study was designed to determine the effect of the pyrethroid insecticide, Lambda-cyhalothrin, on spider populations in rice fields. Treatments consisted of plots treated once

18. Insects associated with tropical foliage produced in the coffee growing region of Colombia
We conducted a survey of insects and pest management practices on 34 farms growing ornamental tropical foliage plants in the central coffee region of Colombia over two years. Tropical foliage provided habitat for a diverse range of insects. In total, phytophagous or detritivorous insects from six orders, 40 families and 62 genera were collected. The most com

19. Compatibility of conventional agrochemicals used in rice crops with the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae
The toxicological impact of chemical pesticides on fungal entomopathogens and their use in tank-mixing can be directly measured through in vitro compatibility tests. This study reports the in vitro toxicity of eight insecticides, four fungicides and five herbicides in the conidial germination, vegetative growth and conidiation of Metarhizium anisopliae (stra

20. Efeito da resistência de Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E.Smith, 1797) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) a lambda-cyhalothrin na interação com o milho geneticamente modificado (MON810) e na resposta imunológica ao parasitismo por Campoletis af / Effect of resistance of Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith, 1797) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) to lambda-cyhalothrin on the interaction with genetically modified maize (MON810) and the immune response to parasitization by Campoletis aff. flavicincta (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae)
Fitness costs of insect resistance to insecticides can be exploited by integrating other pest control strategies in Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs. The objective of this research was to evaluate the existence of fitness costs associated with the resistance of Spodoptera frugiperda (J. E. Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) to the pyrethroid insecticid

21. Diversidade genética de Diaphorina citri Kuwayama, 1908 (Hemiptera: Psyllidae) e caracterização molecular das linhagens de Wolbachia associadas / Genetic diversity of Diaphorina citri Kuwayama, 1908 (Hemiptera: Psyllidae) and molecular characterization of the associate strains of Wolbachia
Diaphorina citri Kuwayama, 1908 (Hemiptera: Psyllidae) is an exotic insect in Brazil, first recorded in the 40s. Although it causes direct damage, D. citri only received attention as a pest in 2004, when the \"Huanglonbing\" (HLB) disease was confirmed infecting citrus in Brazil, and subsequently related to D. citri as vector. Currently, there is no cure for

22. Taxonomy of Ascidae sensu Lindquist and Evans (1965) (Acari: Mesostigmata), biology and ecology of selected Brazilian species / Taxonomia de Ascidae sensu Lindquist e Evans (1965) (Acari: Mesostigmata), biologia e ecologia de espécies brasileiras selecionadas
Mites of the family Ascidae sensu Lindquist and Evans (1965) are found in various habitats, especially in litter, stored products and flowers. They are best known for their predatory habits on mites, other small arthropods and nematodes, but many are also known to feed on fungi, pollen and nectar, and some have been reported in association with cockroaches a

23. Potential of Tyrophagus putrescentiae (Schrank) (Astigmata: Acaridae) for the Biological Control of Lasioderma serricorne (F.) (Coleoptera: Anobiidae)
This work investigated the potential of Tyrophagus putrescentiae (Schrank) (Astigmata: Acaridae) to control Lasioderma serricorne (F.) (Coleoptera: Anobiidae) in the laboratory. L. serricorne is the most destructive insect pest ever found on stored tobacco. The experimental delineation had 33 arenas being each experimental unit with 11 arenas of experiments

24. Biological control of golden apple snail, Pomacea canaliculata by Chinese soft-shelled turtle, Pelodiscus sinensis in the wild rice, Zizania latifolia field
The wild rice, Zizania latifolia Turcz, used to be one of the important aquatic vegetables cultivated in China. Recently, the golden apple snail - GAS (Pomacea canaliculata (Lamarck)) was found to be a major invasive pest attacking Z. latifolia. To control efficiently GAS, predation by the Chinese soft-shelled turtles (Pelodiscus sinensis) on GAS was evaluat
