SUMMARY:The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of isolated Metarhizum anisopliae on larval parasitoid Cotesia flavipes. The experiment was conducted at a temperature of 25±1°C, RH 70±10% and 12h photophase, using a completely randomized design with 16 treatments and five repetitions, with a total of 10 adults C. flavipes by repetition. We used the following treatments: control (untreated), isolates UFGD 05, IBCB 348 and IBCB 425 at concentrations of 1.0 10 7 ; 0.5 10 8 ; 1.0 10 8 ; 0.5 10 9 e 1.0 10 9 conidia.mL -1. The insects were placed in plastic tubes of type Falcon ® , containing a piece of filter paper inoculated with 1 mL -1 of fungal suspension and a gout of honey. The results showed that the isolates UFGD 05, IBCB 348 and IBCB 425 had low virulence to adult parasitoids C. flavipes.Keywords: Sugar cane. Microbial control. Entomopathogens.
INTRODUÇÃOA cana-de-açúcar representa um dos principais produtos agrícolas do Brasil, o plantio da cultura é expandido a cada ano e atualmente a área cultivada ocupa aproximadamente 8 milhões de hectares do território nacional (CONAB, 2011).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
