Objetivou-se neste trabalho avaliar a tolerância do feijão-caupi, cultivar BSR Aracê, a diferentes herbicidas aplicados em pós-emergência, na fase inicial de crescimento das plantas. O experimento foi conduzido em casa de vegetação, em delineamento inteiramente casualizados, com quatro repetições. Os tratamentos avaliados foram: haloxyfop (60 g ha-1), lactofen (180 g ha-1), chlorimuron-ethyl (17,5 g ha-1), bentazon (576 g ha-1), bentazon + imazamox (600 + 28 g ha-1), imazethapyr (100 g ha-1), fomesafen (250 g ha-1), quizalofop-P-ethyl (62,5 g ha-1), lactofen + quizalofop-P-ethyl (180 + 62,5 g ha-1), fomesafen + quizalofop-P-ethyl (250 + 62,5 g ha-1), e uma testemunha. Foram realizadas avaliações visuais de intoxicação, altura das plantas, massa seca foliar, da haste, raiz, massa seca total e área foliar. Os herbicidas haloxyfop e quizalofop-P-ethyl causaram os menores danos ao desenvolvimento das plantas de feijão-caupi. O chlorimuron-ethyl provocou danos severos à cultura, interrompendo seu crescimento. As misturas lactofen + quizalofop-P-ethyl e fomesafen + quizalofop-P-ethyl provocaram os danos elevados à cultura, sendo que a mistura lactofen + quizalofop-P-ethyl, promoveu a morte das plantas do feijão-caupi. Concluiu-se que o feijão-caupi cv. BRS Aracê têm tolerância aos herbicidas haloxyfop e quizalofop-P-ethyl, e tolerância moderada ao formulado bentazon + imazamox e ao herbicida imazethapyr. As misturas lactofen + quizalofop-P-ethyl e fomesafen + quizalofop-P-ethyl potencializam o efeito dos herbicidas sobre a cultura do feijão-caupi. A mistura lactofen + quizalofop-P-ethyl e o herbicida chlorimuron-ethyl provocam danos irreversíveis à cultura do feijão-caupi.

Anastrepha striata Schiner is one of the seven species of tephritidae that are economically important in Brazilian fruit growing, which can infest more than 16 families of host plants, mainly the Myrtaceae. The objective was to obtain information on the age of sexual maturation of males and females and to describe their reproductive behavior in the laboratory. Males reached sexual maturity between 12 and 16 days after emergence, in which most individuals were sexually mature at 14 days of age. During this period, the males performed rapid movements of the wings, producing audible signals. After the females were attracted, the males performed several courtship movements. Females reached sexual maturity between 16 and 19 days after emergence, and the majority was sexually mature at 17 days of age. Daily exhibitions of sexual activity occurred between 5 p.m. and 6 p.m. The species A. striata presented a marked pattern of protandry.
