Danos qualitativos e quantitativos de Cinara atlantica (Wilson) (Hemiptera, Aphididae) em mudas de Pinus taeda Linnaeus (Pinaceae)<A HREF="#back1">1</A>
Abstract:O pulgão-gigante-do-pinus, Cinara atlantica (Wilson, 1919) (Hemiptera, Aphididae), é considerado atualmente uma das principais pragas dos reflorestamentos de pinus no Brasil. Como a informação sobre os danos causados por esta praga é restrita, esta pesquisa teve como objetivo caracterizar e quantificar os danos de C. atlantica em Pinus taeda. O experimento foi desenvolvido em casa de vegetação, seguindo um delineamento inteiramente casualizado. Foram testados três níveis de infestação com densidades populacion… Show more
“…In Brazil, the giant conifer aphid, Cinara atlantica (Wilson, 1919) has damaged commercial plantations of Pinus spp. and biological control with predators can be a better option than chemical control (Zaleski et al 2005). Castro et al (2011) evaluated the impact of temperature on the biological and life table parameters of H. axyridis.…”

“…Due to the expansion of this culture and the often inappropriate cultural methods, this crop became increasingly susceptible to pest insects (Zaleski et al, 2005). Among these the aphids are outstanding due to their characteristics such as high fertility, presence of both wingless and winged forms, thus facilitating dispersal, parthenogenetic reproduction that coupled to the favorable Brazilian climatic conditions make them one of the most important pests of Pinus spp.…”

“…Infestations of aphids on pine can cause considerable decrease on growth and morphological changes that significantly reduces the economic value of wood (Zaleski et al, 2005). The control of aphids is based mainly on biological methods using predators, parasitoids and entomopathogenic fungi.…”
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
