The predatory stinkbug Podisus nigrispinus : biology, ecology and augmentative releases for lepidoperan larval control in Eucalyptus forests in Brazil.

Abstract: Podisus nigrispinus feeds primarily on insect larvae. It has been reared and released in Brazil to control lepidopterous larvae, particularly defoliators of Eucalyptus trees, but inoculative releases and conservation of natural populations in other crops have also been attempted. Aspects favouring the use of P. nigrispinus as a biocontrol agent include: (i) cost-effective mass-rearing capabilities with alternative prey or artificial diets; (ii) compatibility of the predator with some insecticides and forest pr… Show more

“…In natural biological control, the insect predator Podisus nigrispinus (Dallas) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) is an important biological control agent in Soybean-IPM because it plays an important role in the control of different lepidopteran pests (TORRES et al, 2006) and has large consumption capacity of other pest species (DENEZ et al, 2014). Despite the importance of biological control, chemical control might still be necessary.…”

“…(Inayat et al, 2011;Neves et al, 2010;Menezes et al, 2012a). Podisus nigrispinus Dallas, 1851 (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) é um percevejo encontrado em culturas florestais e agrícolas no Brasil, com eficiência em predar lepidópteros e coleópteros daninhos (Torres et al, 2006;Grazia, 2011;Oliveira et al, 2011;Menezes et al, 2012b). Este predador tem sido criado em laboratório e liberado em programas de controle biológico em culturas como o eucalipto (Zanuncio et al, 2002a), algodão (Medeiros et al, 2000), soja (Ferreira et al, 2008) e tomate .…”
