title: Beauveria bassiana in association with genetically modified maize on Spodoptera frugiperda and Rhopalosiphum maidis management

description: ABSTRACT: The objective of this study work was to evaluate the efficiency of the fungusBeauveria bassiana (isolate CG 716) to controlSpoodptera frugiperda and Rhopalosiphum maidis on maize. Front this, was set up in randomized blocks split plots design, with 10 treatments and four replications. Treatments were applied to plots: B. bassiana formulated in vegetable oil at doses of 2.0, 4.0 and 6.0 x 1012 conidia ha-1, lambda-cyhalothrin (7.5 a.i. ha-1) and control (no application). Applications were made weekly. Assessments were performed before each application of the products, collecting 10 consecutive plants per plot for subsequent and storing in plastic bag from destruction of the whorl of maize and counting the number of fall armyworm larvae, aphids and natural enemies in laboratory. There were no significant differences among treatments in relation to the population ofS. frugiperda larvae and R. maidis in corn fields treated or not treated with of defensives applications, however, higher number of R. maidis was observed on the conventional cultivar at 40 days after emergence (DAE) treated with the bioinsecticide B. bassiana at a dose of 2.0 x 1012 conidia ha-1. B. bassiana associated withBt technology does not show satisfactory results to controlS. frugiperda .

title: Evaluation of the efficacy of products isoterapicos in control of Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus

description: ABSTRACT The Rhipicephalus (Boophilus)microplus is responsible for considerable losses in Brazilian cattle. The control of such parasites has been done mainly with the use of acaricides, and the isopathy is an alternative. The objective of this work is to analyze the efficiency of the use of isopathy as an alternative tool to control the cattle tick. We used 18 cows of the European race, kept in extensive livestock system in the municipality of Canguçu, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The animals were divided into control group (Lot A) and group treated with isopathy (Lot B). Mineral salt was used as a vehicle for the administration of isopathy, Lot A received mineral salt with placebo (sugar) and Lot B received mineral salt with isopathy. The animals were artificially infested with 10 thousan larvae of R. (B.)microplus , and in the days 20, 21 and 22 post-infestation engorged females were counted and collected. The ticks from each batch were randomly divided into nine groups of ten subjects each for analysis of biological parameters and subsequent calculation of the Nutritional Index and the Effectiveness Reproductive Index. For comparison of average engorged females from each group were employed ANOVA and LSD Test. The animals treated with isopathy showed a 53.4% reduction in the average number of ticks when compared with the untreated group (p = 0.001). As for biological standards, there was no statistical difference. It is concluded that the use of isopathy was able to reduce infestation of R. (B.)microplus , showing up as a promising alternative to control this ticks.

title: Effects of temperature and light regime on Corynespora cassiicola and of temperature and of leaf wetness period in development of target spot in barbados cherry

description: ABSTRACT The objective of this study were: (i) to assess, in vitro , the effect of temperature on mycelial growth (10-35oC) and spores germination (10-45oC); (ii) to evaluate, in vitro¸the effect of the light regime (continuous light, 12 h photoperiod and continuous darkness) on mycelial growth, sporulation and viability of the spores of C. cassiicola ;and (iii) to assess, in vivo,the effect of temperature (20-30oC) and the duration of leaf wetness (4-48 h) in the development of target spot in leaves of barbados cherry. The estimated maximum temperatures for mycelia growth and spore germination were 30 and 29oC, respectively. The light regime did not affect the mycelial growth and spores germination. However, continuous light regime favored the sporulation, and the absence of light during spore production decreased the spore viability. The target spot lesions area in barbados cherry leaves increased with the increment in the temperature up to 30oC. Twelve hours of leaf wetness were necessary for the infection and lesion development of target spot.

title: Phakopsora pachyrhizi and Puccinia kuehnii urediniospore germination under different adjuvants

description: ABSTRACT In Brazil Phakopsora pachyrhizi and Puccinia kuehnii are important pathogens of soybeans and sugar cane, respectively. In vitro experiments were carried out in order to evaluate P. pachyrhizi and P. kuehniiurediniospore germination under different adjuvants used in fungicide sprays to control rust diseases. Petri dishes (80 mm diameter) containing 10 mL of agar-water (1.7%) were used. In each plate 1 mL of a spore suspension with 5x105 urediniospores and 1 mL solution of adjuvants with twice the concentratation for field sprays was added. Assist(r), Veget Oil(r), Natur Oil(r), Break Thru(r)Aureo(r), Silwet(r) and Nimbus(r) were evaluated. There was a control check treatment with water. P. pachyrhiziurediniospore germination was negatively affected by all adjuvants after 2 hours of exposition. Urediniospores of the Asian soybean rust exposed to Assist(r), Break Thru(r), Aureo(r) and Nimbus(r) had lower germination rates. Germination of P. kuehnii urediniospores was lower in all adjuvant treatments after 4 hours of exposition. At 8 hours of Veget Oil(r) and Break Thru(r) exposure urediniospores of the orange rust pathogen had 96.6 and 94.8% reduction in germination compared to control check treatment.

title: Organic products selectivity for Trichogramma pretiosum (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae)

description: ABSTRACT: The selectivity of different insecticides, fungicides and fertilizers used in organic soybean cropping was evaluated according to the protocols proposed by the Pesticides and Beneficial Organisms Working Group of the International Organization for Biological Control (IOBC) concerning adults and pupae of the egg parasitoid Trichogramma pretiosum Riley (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae) under laboratory conditions. Treatments 1) baculovirus anticarsia 140 x 109 cpi; 2) Bacillus thuringiensis 16.8 g; 3) azadirachtin-A, azadirachtin-B, nimbina and salamina 9.6 ppm; 4) rotenoids 4% 4 L; 5) nitrogen 1.3%, phosphorus 3.0% and total organic carbon 8.0% 3 L; 6) sodium silicate 2% 4 L; 7) copper 7% + calcium 3.3% 1.8 L; 8) sulfur 20% + quicklime 10% 1.8 L were in general safe (class 1) to both adults and pupae of T. pretiosum . Differently, chlorpyrifos (control treatment) was harmful to this parasitoid. Therefore, the utilization of the tested natural derived products in the production of organic soybean is viable, without impairing the natural biological control allowed by T. pretiosum . Furthermore, both management techniques can indeed be used together in organic cropping aiming at reaching increasing or complementary control of target pests. Chlorpyrifos use, on the other hand, whenever possible, should be replaced by other products more compatible with biological control preservation.

title: Fungicidal activity and constituents of Ageratum conyzoides essential oil from three regions in São Paulo state, Brazil

description: The chemical composition and antifungal activity of the Ageratum conyzoidesessential oils, obtained from the leaves collected in Ibiúna (1), Ribeirão Pires (2) and Campinas (3) in the São Paulo state, Brazil, were investigated. The essential oils were obtained from A. conyzoidesleaves by hydrodestilation and analyzed by GC/MS. The chemical composition of the A. conyzoides oil collected in Ribeirão Pires and Ibiúna consisted mainly of precocene I and II. The essential oil from leaves collected in Campinas had only traces of precocene II and a highest proportion of precocene I, α-humulene and (E)-caryophyllene than the oils (1) and (2). The Aspergillus flavus growth was inhibited by essential oils (1) and (2) at 60 and 64%, respectively, and the oil (3) was inactive. On the other hand, the three essential oils inhibited the sporulation of the fungus for more than 120 days. The essential oils of leaves collected in sites that show similarities in the latitude, altitude and average temperatures, as Ribeirão Pires and Ibiúna, showed chemical composition and antifungal activity similar, either, which showed the importance of geo-ecological factors in production of metabolites of the plant.

title: Species of Anastrepha (Diptera: Tephritidae) in orchards of guavas: diversity, population fluctuation, and host phenology

description: ABSTRACT:Studies were carried out in guava orchards, in two municipalities of the State of Sâo Paulo, Brazil. In Monte Alegre do Sul, the survey was done in an experimental station of Agência Paulista de Tecnologia dos Agronegócios, in which 13 Anastrepha species were collected from January 2002 to December 2003. In Monte Alto, in a commercial orchard, eight species were captured, from January to December 2004. Anastrepha fraterculus was the most frequent species in both municipalities. The climatic parameters had low influence on the population fluctuation of the Anastrepha species in both orchards. The most common population peaks of Anastrephaspecies varied between the orchards. The availability of fruits in the orchard and nearby them is the factor that determines the size of the fruit fly populations.

title: Action evaluation of a virus on yield and quality of sweet potato tubers

description: ABSTRACT The Western region of São Paulo State, Brazil, is responsible for approximately 40% of the production of sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L.) in the state, even under low-technology. The study aimed to evaluate the impact of viruses on sweet potato production variables. The experiment was conducted in Presidente Prudente, São Paulo, Brazil, in a commercial sweet potato crop of pink group, cv. Canadense, with and without virus. In three randomly chosen plots of 10 x 4 m in each half of the field (with and without virus), ten central plants were randomly collected. The number, weight, length and diameter were evaluated. The plots without virus produced 50% more tubers and 100% more weight during harvesting. Tubers obtained from virus-free seedlings showed a greater mass (p &lt; 0.01), height (p &lt; 0.01) and mean diameter (p &lt; 0.05) than those harvested from infected plants. From free-of-virus seedlings, 65% of tubers were classified as 2A (150 to 299 g), the standard that represents 70% of the trading volume at a Food Market place, which provides greater profitability to the producer.

title: Enzootic bovine leukosis antibodies in cattle from mid-northern Mato Grosso State, Brazil

description: ABSTRACT The enzootic bovine leukosis (EBL) is a disease caused by a retrovirus and can be presented as a persistent lymphocytosis, or bovine lymphosarcomas in adult cattle. This study aimed to conduct a serological survey of beef cattle, dairy herd and in purebred cattle raised in the cities of Sinop and Sorriso, in order to understand the distribution and occurrence of antibodies anti-EBL virus in that region. According to the results obtained, the prevalence in the three categories was 11.78% of serum positives, where 12.19% for beef cattle, 11.02% for the dairy herd and 9.09% in purebred cattle animals. Thus, this study demonstrated that EBL is present in Mato Grosso State, and EBL's prevalence rates lower than others reported in several regions of the country.
