Abstract: Aphis craccivora Koch, 1854 (Hemiptera: Aphididae) is a highly polyphagous aphid that is considered a pest of many crops with economic interest. The present study reports the occurrence and plant damages caused by the aphid A. craccivora on mahogany seedlings (Swietenia macrophylla King, Meliaceae) and scarlet jade vines (Mucuna bennettii F. Muell., Fabaceae) in the Distrito Federal, Brazil. Infestations of this aphid were found in twelve mahogany seedlings and two scarlet jade vines. The infestations caused d… Show more

Background The cowpea aphid, Aphis craccivora Koch (Hemiptera: Aphidiidae) is a polyphagous aphid species that causes various damage on different crops. The conventional method of controlling this pest is the use synthetic insecticides that threaten both the environmental safety and human health. Moreover, it contributes to the emergence of insecticide-resistant generations. Hence, relying on Entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) remains one of the most safe and effective alternative solutions to control insect pests. For the mentioned reasons, the EPF, Beauveria bassiana was isolated and characterized; besides, its efficiency against adults’ A. craccivora was evaluated both in the laboratory and in the greenhouse. Results A new isolate of B. bassiana was isolated from collected cadavers’ insects associated with the population of A. craccivora in a rural area in the Northwest of Algeria. This isolate was identified on the basis of its morphological and molecular characteristics and was referred to as B. bassiana BBAA. The enzymatic activities of this isolate revealed a high production of chitinase, protease and lipase, without any production of amylase. The use of different concentrations of B. bassiana BBAA conidia against A. craccivora led to a high mortality rate, ranging from 64 to 74% mortality on the seventh day post-treatment in vitro and 58 to 70% in greenhouse. Conclusion Virulence and enzymatic activities produced by B. bassiana BBAA demonstrated the necessity to exploit entomopathogenic fungi (EPFs) in pest control.

A jade-vermelha (Mucuna bennettii F. Muell, Fabaceae) é uma trepadeira exótica facilmente encontrada em vários pontos do Distrito Federal, usada como forma de ornamentação de quadras e parques na região. Esse trabalho tem como objetivo relatar pela primeira vez a ocorrência da cochonilha Coccus hesperidum L. (Hemiptera: Coccidae) em M. bennettii. Amostras de cochonilhas foram coletadas de duas plantas de jade-vermelha situadas no Distrito Federal, Brasil e enviadas para identificação. Infestações desse coccídeo foram observadas nas folhas, hastes e troncos. A partir desse relato, a lista de hospedeiras desse inseto polífago e cosmopolita é ampliada. Além disso, a ocorrência de C. hesperidum é registrada pela primeira vez no Distrito Federal, Brasil.
