ABSTRACT

Cerambycidae beetles limit production and establishment of forest and fruit trees. Oncideres cervina Thomson, 1868 (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) is one of the most important species. The objective was to record O. cervina girdling branches of Persea americana Mill. (Lauraceae) for the first time, check the number of oviposition incisions (Noi) as a function of the diameter of branch sections, period of emergence, and describe the larval-pupal chamber. Individuals of O. cervina were observed, for the first time, in P. americana orchards in Santa Maria, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The middle section of branches (40-60 cm interval) had higher number of incisions. Girdled branches with a diameter of 40-50 mm had higher number of them. Adults emerged from November through January. Larval-pupal boreholes had diameters between 9 and 11 mm, and average tunnel length was 28 mm, with a mean volume of consumed wood of 4.3 mL. This information is useful for establishing integrated pest management practices against O. cervina in P. americana since this crop has a high added value and can be significantly compromised by attack by Cerambycidae beetles.

Os besouros da família Cerambycidae limitam a produção e o estabelecimento de essências florestais e frutíferas. Oncideres cervina Thomson, 1868 (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) é uma das espécies mais importantes. O objetivo foi registrar O. cervina danificando ramos de Persea americana Mill. (Lauraceae) pela primeira vez, verificar o número de incisões de postura em relação ao diâmetro das secções dos ramos, período de emergência e descrever a galeria larval-pupal. Indivíduos de O. cervina foram observados pela primeira vez em pomares de P. americana em Santa Maria, Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil. A secção média dos ramos (intervalo de 40-60 cm) apresentou maior número de incisões. Ramos danificados com diâmetro de 40-50 mm tiveram maior número delas. Adultos emergiram de novembro a janeiro. Os orifícios larvais-pupais tinham diâmetros entre 9 e 11 mm, e o comprimento médio da galeria era de 28 mm, com um volume médio de madeira consumida de 4,3 mL. Essas informações são úteis para estabelecer práticas integradas de manejo de pragas contra O. cervina em P. americana, já que essa cultura tem alto valor agregado e pode ser significativamente comprometida pelo ataque de besouros da família Cerambycidae.

ABSTRACT

Lycosa erythrognatha Lucas, 1833 (Araneae: Lycosidae) is a predatory arthropod with potential for conservation biological control. In addition to being considered a bioindicator of environmental quality, this arthropod provides an important service for agriculture by reducing insect-pest populations. In this work we seek to understand how the plants Andropogon bicornis L., Saccharum angustifolium Nees and Eustachys retusa Lag (Poales: Poaceae) and their different clump sizes affect the population density, spatial distribution and determination of the minimum number of samples to estimate its population density during the winter. Among the evaluated host plants, S. angustifolium and A. bicornis presented higher population density than E. retusa, but we observed that the clump diameter significantly influences the population density and the minimum number of samples. We observed a gregarious behavior in plants of A. bicornis and E. retusa. For S. angustifolium, a uniform distribution was observed.(AU)

ABSTRACT

Stink bugs (Pentatomidae) are among the main entomological problems in the international farming. Their ability in using alternative plants (refuges) during the off-season is one of the reasons that led them to the status of key pests in several crops. Like other insect species, stink bugs are subject to atmospheric variations. Therefore, the objective of this experiment was to evaluate the abundance, the co-occurrence, and its variations according to the weather in the off-season. The work was conducted between 2014 and 2018, in the municipality of Cruz Alta, state of Rio Grande do Sul (RS), Brazil. Every year, refuges formed by Poaceae and located around the cropped area were evaluated in the second fortnight of June, corresponding to the beginning of the winter solstice. Atmospheric variables corresponding to the evaluation period were used to explain the variation in the populations. In short, our results demonstrated interannual variations in the population abundance of stink bugs in the evaluated refuges. We also found variations in the co-occurrence between species. Finally, we demonstrate the trend in the increase in these refuges in years with cold and dry off-seasons.
