The peanut thrips, Enneothrips enigmaticus (Thysanoptera: Thrypidae), is an important pest of the peanut (Arachis hypogaea) in South America. Due to concerns about the environment and human health induced by the extensive use of pesticides in the management control of pests, environmentally and friendlier tactics must be targeted. Thus, this study investigates, for the first time, the behavior of ...... hiện toàn bộ
Parasitism and Food Web Structure in Defoliating Lepidoptera – Parasitoid Communities on SoybeanNeotropical Entomology - Tập 45 - Trang 712-717 - 2016
D S Avalos, A Mangeaud, G R Valladares
Food webs are usually regarded as snapshots of community feeding interactions. Here, we describe the yearly and cumulative structure of parasitoid–caterpillar food webs on soybean in central Argentina, analyzing parasitism rates and their variability in relation to parasitoid diversity and food web vulnerability in the system. Lepidoptera larvae were collected along four seasons from soybean crops...... hiện toàn bộ
Development and Leaf Consumption by Spodoptera cosmioides (Walker) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) Reared on Leaves of Agroenergy CropsNeotropical Entomology - Tập 42 - Trang 588-594 - 2013
M F Cabezas, D E Nava, L O Geissler, M Melo, M S Garcia, R Krüger
Spodoptera cosmioides (Walker) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) is a polyphagous pest that threatens more than 24 species of crop plants including those used for biodiesel production such as Ricinus communis (castor bean), Jatropha curcas (Barbados nut), and Aleurites fordii (tung oil tree). The development and leaf consumption by S. cosmioides reared on leaves of these three species were...... hiện toàn bộ
The Value of Crop Production and Pollination Services in the Eastern AmazonNeotropical Entomology - Tập 49 - Trang 545-556 - 2020
R C Borges, R M Brito, V L Imperatriz-Fonseca, T C Giannini
Nature safeguards living organisms and the ecosystem functions and services delivered by them. Animal pollination is an important Ecosystem Service since it plays a key role for achieving the sustainable development goals by safeguarding worldwide food production. Thus, conservation of pollination services is a major priority for guaranteeing global food security in the long term. Here we evaluate...... hiện toàn bộ
The Potential of Plant-Based Biorational Products for the Drosophila suzukii Control: Current Status, Opportunities, and LimitationsNeotropical Entomology - - Trang 1-8 - 2023
Vinícius Fonsêca dos Santos, Lenon Morales Abeijon, Sabrina Helena da Cruz Araújo, Flávio Roberto Mello Garcia, Eugênio Eduardo de Oliveira
Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura) (Diptera: Drosophilidae) is an invasive species that causes serious damage to soft-skinned fruits. The use of plant-based biorational insecticides (plant extracts and essential oils) to control this pest has grown extensively. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to examine the current status, trends, and perspectives of these studies, with a focus on t...... hiện toàn bộ
