Artrópodes-praga e predadores (Arthropoda) associados à cultura da mangueira no Vale do São Francisco, nordeste do Brasil

Abstract

Neotropical Entomology 34(3): 471-474 (2005) Arthropods-Pest and Predators Associated with Mango Trees at the Vale do São Francisco, Northestern Brazil ABSTRACT -In order to identify and evaluate the occurrence of arthropods-pest and predators on mangoes at "Vale do São Francisco", northestern Brazil, studies were carried out in eight commercial plantations of the cv. Tommy Atkins, from February 2000 to January 2002. In each area, fruit flies were collected using McPhail and Jackson traps; other pests and predators were evaluated on samples of branches, panicles and fruits. The arthropods-pest occurrence in decreasing order were: Aceria mangiferae (Sayed)

Thrips collected in watermelon crops in the semiarid of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil

“…In Brazil, the species is considered a pest of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) (Malvaceae), melon (Cucumis melo) (Cucurbitaceae), mango (Mangifera indica) (Anacardiaceae), lettuce (Lactuca sativa) (Asteraceae), tomato (Solanum lycopersicun) (Solanaceae), pepper (Capsicum annuum) (Solanaceae), tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) (Solanaceae), eggplant (Solanum melongena) (Solanaceae), soybean (Glycine max) (Fabaceae), rose (Rosa sp.) (Rosaceae) and watermelon (C. lanatus) (Cucurbitaceae) (MONTEIRO et al, 1999;MONTEIRO et al, 2001;BARBOSA et al, 2005;MESQUITA et al, 2008;MICHEREFF FILHO et al, 2010;LIMA et al, 2013).…”

Ocorrência dos Ácaros Mononychellus sp. e Oligonychus sp. em Mogno Africano (Khaya ivorensis) no Brasil

“…No Brasil, o gênero Oligonychus foi relatado em Coffea arabica no estado de São Paulo (AMARAL, 1951), em plantações de manga na agricultura irrigada, em Petrolina no estado de Pernambuco, e Juazeiro, na Bahia (BARBOSA et al, 2005), de Seringueira em São Paulo (FERES e NUNES, 2001), ocorrendo também em estufa mantida com Eucalyptus grandis, que estavam perto de mudas de café (FLECHTMANN, 1983). O controle químico é o método mais utilizado para o controle desses ácaros em culturas agrícolas (feijão, café, quiabo, amendoim, etc.…”

Molecular Identification and Phylogeny ofBactroceraSpecies (Diptera: Tephritidae)

“…The species-specific marker is also available tool when there is a problem of polymorphism as it has been shown in the case of Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) and Anastrepha fraterculus (Wiedemann) (Sonvico et al 1996). In addition to the above, molecular identification could reveal multiple infestations as against the morphological identification, which could be used to separate the species (Barbosa et al 2005).…”
