  • Circular Técnica BOTTON Et Al., 2009)
    ISSN 1808-6810 Bioecologia, Monitoramento e Controle de Bonagota salubricola (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) em Macieira 97 Introdução A macieira Malus domestica Borkhausen é uma das principais frutíferas de clima temperado cultivadas no Brasil, com produção localizada principalmente nos Estados do Rio Grande do Sul e Santa Catarina, que respondem por 98% da produção nacional (IBGE, 2012). Diversos fatores podem comprometer a exploração econômica da malicultura nesses Estados, merecendo destaque o ataque de insetos praga (KOVALESKI; RIBEIRO, 2003). A lagarta-enroladeira da macieira Bonagota salubricola (Meyrick, 1937) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) é uma das pragas chave por danificar os frutos desde o início da frutificação até a colheita (KOVALESKI, 2004; BOTTON et al., 2009). O emprego de inseticidas químicos ainda é o principal método de controle empregado pelos fruticultores. No entanto, a maioria dos inseticidas apresentam restrições quanto à toxicidade e à possibilidade de deixar resíduos tóxicos nos frutos (BOTTON et al., 2000a; THOMSON et al., 2001; KOVALESKI; RIBEIRO, 2003; KOVALESKI, 2004; Circular Técnica BOTTON et al., 2009). Além disso, o uso contínuo de uma única estratégia de controle pode selecionar populações resistentes, resultando na necessidade de Bento Gonçalves, RS Outubro, 2013 pulverizações adicionais ou no aumento da dose aplicada e/ou troca de princípio ativo, geralmente de custo mais elevado.

E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT. Mass rearing of parasitoids depends on choosing appropriate alternative hosts. The objective of this study was to select alternative hosts to rear the parasitoid Palmistichus elaeisis Delvare & LaSalle, 1993 (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae). Pupae of the lepidopterans Anticarsia gemmatalis Hübner, 1818 (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), Bombyx mori Linnaeus, 1758 (Lepidoptera: Bombycidae) and Thyrinteina arnobia (Stoll, 1782) (Lepidoptera: Geometridae) were exposed to parasit- ism by females of P. elaeisis. The duration of the life cycle of P. elaeisis was 21.60 ± 0.16 and 24.15 ± 0.65 days on pupae of A. gemmatalis and B. mori, respectively, with 100.0% parasitism of the pupae and 71.4 and 100.0% emergence of parasitoids from the first and second hosts, respectively. The offspring number of P. elaeisis was 511.00 ± 49.70 and 110.20 ± 19.37 individuals per pupa of B. mori and A. gemmatalis, respectively. The reproduction of P. elaeisis from pupae of T. arnobia after six generations was similar to the other hosts.

  • Scientific Names of Pest Species in Tortricidae (Lepidoptera)
    RESEARCH Scientific Names of Pest Species in Tortricidae (Lepidoptera) Frequently Cited Erroneously in the Entomological Literature John W. Brown Abstract. The scientific names of several pest species in the moth meate the literature. For example, the subfamilial designation for family Tortricidae (Lepidoptera) frequently are cited erroneously in Olethreutinae (rather than Olethreutidae) was slow to be accepted contemporary entomological literature. Most misuse stems from the for many years following Obraztsov’s (1959) treatment of the group. fact that many proposed name changes appear in systematic treat- They even appear at both taxonomic levels (i.e., Olethreutinae and ments that are not seen by most members of the general entomologi- Olethreutidae) in different papers in the same issue of the Canadian cal community. Also, there is resistance among some entomologists Entomologist in the 1980s!

  • The Sublethal Effects of Insecticides in Insects 25

Guedes Additional information is available at the end of the chapter Additional information is available at the end of the chapter http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/66461 Abstract Studies related to the effect of insecticides on insect pests and nontarget organisms, such as natural enemies, are traditionally accessed by the estimative of lethal effects, through mortality data. Due to the limitations of the traditional methods, recent studies in the past three decades are assessing the sublethal effects of insecticides upon several important biological traits of insect pests and natural enemies. Besides mortality, the sublethal dose/concentrations of an insecticide can affect insect biology, physiology, behavior and demographic parameters. In this chapter, many sublethal effects of insecticides were addressed for several chemical groups, such as botanical insecticides, carbamate, diamide, insect growth regulators, neonicotinoid, organochlorides, organophosphates, pyrethroid and others. An accurate assessment of these effects is crucial to acquire knowledge on the overall insecticide efficacy in the management of pest insect populations, as well as on their selectivity toward nontarget organisms. Keywords: sublethal concentrations, pest insects, natural enemies, biological effects, physiological effects, behavioral effects, demographic studies 1. Introduction Despite numerous novel control agents available at integrated pest management programs, insecticides remain as the most reliable method for insect control. The effects of insecticides and other toxicants on insect pests and other arthropods have been the subject of innumerous studies in the past several decades [1].

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the use of Metarhizium anisopliae strains in the control of the apple leafroller, by assessing their virulence to B. salubricola larvae in bioassays with suspensions of 2 × 105 to 2 × 109 conidia/mL as well as their relationship with protease expression. The most effective strain underwent a compatibility test with chemical insecticides. The M. anisopliae E6 strain showed a good performance, with up to 88% mortality and a LT50 of 1.66 days. The virulence was positively correlated with a higher enzymatic activity. The E6 strain was compatible with tebufenozide, evidencing its potential to control B.
