Flutuação populacional e intensidade de infestação da broca-dos-frutos em cupuaçu

Abstract: Dentre as pragas do cupuaçueiro Theobroma grandiflorum (Wild. ex Spreng.) Schum., a broca-dos-frutos, Conotrachelus humeropictus Fiedler (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), é a mais importante, devido aos danos causados e por estar disseminada em alguns Estados da região Norte do Brasil. Os objetivos deste trabalho foram avaliar a flutuação populacional de adultos de C. humeropictus, determinar a intensidade de infestação e caracterizar o ataque de larvas desta praga em frutos de cupuaçueiros, em sistemas agroflorest… Show more

“…However, besides abiotic factors, we should consider biotic factors that can influence the population dynamics of insects, such as food availability, possibly existing host plants adjacent to cassava crops, and the presence of natural enemies (THOMAZINI, 2002). Therefore, in order to establish IPM programs for cassava crops in the region, future studies should consider these biotic factors, aiming to find alternative hosts and natural enemies.…”

“…Larvae grow inside fruits of cocoa (Theobroma cacao) and cupuaçu (Theobroma grandiflorum), consistently decreasing crop production with losses of up to 50%, sometimes even close to 100%. 3 Females lay eggs inside the stem, and neonate larvae excavate galleries to reach the fruit, where they complete their development. Infested fruits fall down to the soil, where hatching larvae will pupate.…”

“…This pest is difficult to control, as both the egg and larva are lodged in galleries inside the fruits. Infested fruits fall off before ripening or have the pulp completely destroyed [ 35 ]. Moreover, from the phytosanitary point of view, the disease caused by the fungus Moniliophtora perniciosa (known as “Vassoura-de-Bruxa”) [ 36 ] represents the main limiting factor to the expansion of this fruit tree.…”
