  • Integrative taxonomy methods reveal high mealybug (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) diversity in southern Brazilian Fruit Crops.
    Scientific Reports v. 7 n. 15741 p. 1-9 2017., 2018
    Co-Authors: V. P. Da ,silva, Kaydan M. B., Malausa T., Germain J. F., Palero F., Botton M.
    Abstract:

    The Serra Gaúcha region is the most important temperate Fruit-producing area in southern Brazil. Despite mealybugs (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) infesting several host plants in the region, there is a lack of information about the composition of species damaging different Crops. A survey of mealybug species associated with commercial Fruit Crops (apple, persimmon, strawberry and grapes) was performed in Serra Gaúcha between 2013 and 2015, using both morphology and DNA analyses for species identification. The most abundant species were Pseudococcus viburni (Signoret), found on all four host plant species, and Dysmicoccus brevipes (Cockerell), infesting persimmon, vines and weeds. The highest diversity of mealybug species was found on persimmon trees, hosting 20 different taxa, of which Anisococcus granarae Pacheco da Silva & Kaydan, D. brevipes, Pseudococcus sociabilis Hambleton and Ps. viburni were the most abundant. A total of nine species were recorded in vineyards. Planococcus ficus (Signoret) and Pseudococcus longispinus (Targioni Tozzetti) were observed causing damage to grapes for the first time. A single species, Ps. viburni, was found associated with apples, while both Ps. viburni and Ferrisia meridionalis Williams were found on strawberry. Four of the mealybug species found represent new records for Brazil.bitstream/item/170189/1/PachecodaSilvaetal.2017IntegrativetaxonomyMealybugs2017.pd

  • toxicological and ultrastructural analysis of the impact of pesticides used in temperate Fruit Crops on chrysoperla externa
    Revista Brasileira De Entomologia, 2011
    Co-Authors: Alexandre Pinho De Moura, Luciano Veiga Cosme, Marcos Botton, Geraldo Andrade Carvalho, Eduardo Alves, Patrícia Sobral Silva
    Abstract:

    Toxicological and ultrastructural analysis of the impact of pesticides used in temperate Fruit Crops on Chrysoperla externa. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of the pesticides (g a.i. L-1) abamectin (0.02), carbaryl (1.73), sulphur (4.8), fenitrothion (0.75), methidathion (0.4) and trichlorfon (1.5) on the survival of larvae and pupae, on the oviposition of adults and hatching of eggs from treated Chrysoperla externa (Hagen, 1861) third-instar larvae. Also, morphological changes caused by abamectin to eggs laid by C. externa , originated from treated third-instar larvae were evaluated, by mean of ultrastructural analysis. The evaluated pesticides were applied on glass plates, using Potter’s tower. Distilled water was used as control. Carbaryl, fenitrothion and methidathion caused 100% mortality rates of larvae. Abamectin reduced the hatching of C. externa eggs from treated third-instar larvae of both populations; however, this pesticide presented highest toxicity on insects from Vacaria. The ultrastructural analysis showed morphological malformations in micropyle and in chorion external surface of C. externa eggs. Based in the total effect (E) of the pesticides, carbaryl, fenitrothion and methidathion are harmful to C. externa. Trichlorfon is harmless to third-instar larvae of the predator. Abamectin and sulphur are slightly harmful and harmless to third-instar larvae, from Bento Goncalves and Vacaria, respectively.
