    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).

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.

It is cultivated in 42 countries in South Asia, North and Central America, the Mediterranean region, West Asia and North and East Africa. In recent years, it has become an important crop in Australia, Canada and the USA. Nearly 60 insect species are known to feed on chickpea (Reed et al., 1987) (Table 25.1).

In the present study, we combine conventional analytical approaches with DNA meta-barcoding to identify pollen grains attached to migrating adults of the turnip moth, Agrotis segetum (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) in Northeast China. More specifically, pollen grains were dislodged from 2566 A. segetum long-distance migrants captured on Beihuang Island (Bohai Sea) and identified to many (plant) species level.
