The objective of this study was to evaluate the potential of the pioneer plant species Bellucia grossularioides (L.) Triana (Melastomataceae) to act as a reservoir for parasitoids of fruit flies in the Brazilian Amazon. We collected 48 samples of fruits (total of 4,012 fruits, 43.98 kg) during the months of July, August and September of 2013, in 15 of the 16 municipalities of Amapá State, Brazil. All samples showed infestation by fruit flies, with rates varying from 60.6 to 239.1 puparia/kg of fruit (mean of 106.8 puparia/kg of fruit). The percentage of emergence varied 18.6 to 64.3% (mean of 39.9%). Specimens of Anastrepha coronilli Carrejo & González (Diptera: Tephritidae) were obtained from all samples collected. Specimens of Neosilba (Diptera: Lonchaeidae) were obtained from five samples, where they were represented by Neosilba bella Strikis & Prado and Neosilba glaberrima (Wiedemann). The mean percentage of parasitism was 12.8%, varying 4.7 to 26.7%. Four species of parasitoids were obtained: Doryctobracon areolatus (Szépligeti), Doryctobracon sp.2, Opius bellus Gahan (Braconidae) and Aganaspis pelleranoi (Brèthes) (Figitidae). Doryctobracon areolatus, present in all municipalities sampled, was the most abundant species. Considering that B. grossularioides is a plant species that is abundant in the area sampled, its relevance with respect to the maintenance of the population of parasitoids is discussed in the context of the integrated management of fruit flies in the Amazon.

O experimento foi conduzido em pomar comercial de goiaba (Psidium guajava L.) cultivar 'Pêra Vermelha', localizado no município de Itapecuru-Mirim (MA), na Comunidade Magnificat, visando a adotar um sistema de manejo integrado de moscas-das-frutas através do monitoramento com armadilhas do tipo frasco caça-moscas (modelo garrafa plástica) e atraentes de alimentação. O delineamento estatístico adotado foi o de blocos inteiramente casualizados, com cinco tratamentos e quatro repetições, sendo: suco de laranja (50%), acerola (30%), goiaba (30%), maracujá (30%) e solução de açúcar cristal a 10 %. Verificou-se que o suco de maracujá (30%) e a solução de açúcar cristal (10%) foram mais atrativos para os adultos de Anastrepha distincta Greene, A. sororcula Zucchi, A. striata Schiner, A. obliqua Macquart e A. serpentina Wiedemann.
RESUMO-A praga de goiabeira que tem requerido maior frequência de controle, na região de Jaboticabal-SP, nos últimos anos, é o psilídeo Triozoida limbata. Assim, esta pesquisa objetivou: a) Comparar táticas de controle de T. limbata baseadas no monitoramento e na seletividade de inseticidas, visando a diminuir as aplicações; b) Registrar e correlacionar os inimigos naturais habitantes no agroecossistema goiabeira com a praga-chave e com fatores meteorológicos; c) Constatar se o controle de T. limbata afeta a população de moscas-das-frutas, e d) Verificar a eficiência de inseticidas adequados ao MIP, no controle de T. limbata. O experimento foi conduzido com a cultivar Paluma, em 2004, no município de Vista Alegre do Alto-SP. As estratégias utilizadas foram (doses em g.i.a./100L de água): testemunha; imidacloprid (4,0); imidacloprid + beta-cyfluthrin (2,5 + 0,3); acetamiprid (4,0); fenpropathrin (15,0), e tratamento convencional regional. Através dos resultados, conclui-se que é possível diminuir o número de aplicações e utilizar inseticidas menos agressivos ao meio ambiente e ao homem, com a adoção do monitoramento de T. limbata e aplicação no nível de ação. As densidades populacionais dos inimigos naturais (Scymnus spp., Cycloneda sanguinea, Azia luteipes, Crysoperla spp., Polybia spp., Brachygastra spp.) apresentam correlações positivas com as densidades populacionais de T. limbata. As flutuações populacionais de T. limbata e dos inimigos naturais não são alteradas pelos fatores meteorológicos (precipitação e temperatura), em pomar irrigado. A população de Anastrepha spp. é minimizada quando as aplicações são para controlar T. limbata. Os inseticidas imidacloprid, imidacloprid + beta-cyfluthrin, acetamiprid e fenpropathrin são eficientes no controle de T. limbata.
