RESUMOA distribuição espacial de Mahanarva fimbriolata (Stål) (Hemiptera: Cercopidae) foi estudada em campo de colheita mecanizada de cana crua, utilizando-se de geoestatística. O experimento foi desenvolvido em área de 1,5 ha, dividida em 100 parcelas de 150 m 2 cada uma. No sulco central de cada parcelam, foram feitos sete levantamentos populacionais entre 24/11/04 e 22/3/05, período de maior ocorrência da praga. O índice de Morisita foi maior que 1 em todas as épocas de amostragem, posto que M. fimbriolata distribui-se de forma agregada na cultura e esse padrão não se alterou ao longo do tempo, nem foi influenciado pelo nível de infestação. As análises geoestatísticas dos dados permitiram construir mapas e estimar a dependência espacial das amostras somente nas amostragens efetuadas a partir de 11/1/05, por ocasião do início da segunda geração da praga. Os alcances obtidos nessas condições variaram de 33 a 53 m, revelando que seriam necessários até três pontos de amostragem por hectare para uma estimativa confiável da densidade populacional. No início do período de ocorrência da cigarrinha, não foi possível elaborar mapas pelo fato de a distância entre os pontos de amostragem ter sido grande demais para permitir a detecção de dependência espacial entre eles. Com base nisso, pode-se inferir que, nesse período, seriam necessários mais de 3 pontos por hectare para estimar a população da área.Palavras-chave: cigarrinha-das-raízes, Saccharum, semivariograma, krigagem. ABSTRACT USE OF GEOSTATISTCS TO EVALUATE Mahanarva fimbriolata (STÅL) (HEMIPTERA: CERCOPIDAE) SPATIAL DISTRIBUTION ON SUGARCANESpatial distribution of Mahanarva fimbriolata (Stål) (Hemiptera: Cercopidae) was studied in a 1,5 ha mechanically harvested green cane field, covering an area of 1.5ha, which was divided into 100 plots of 150 m 2 each. Seven evaluations of insect population were made between 24/11/2004 and 22/03/2005, which corresponds to the period of high infestation levels; insects were counted in the central row of each plot. The Morisita index was greater than 1 for all evaluations, indicating that the M. fimbriolata has aggregated spatial distribution and this pattern did not change over time and it was not affected by the infestation level. The geostatistical analysis allowed the construction of contour maps through kriging interpolation using the spatial dependence expressed in the semivariograms for the samplings made after 01/11/2005, when the insect was in second generation. The ranges varied from 33 to 53 m and, using this information, it was estimated that it was necessary to sample 3 points/ha to adequately estimate the insect population. At the beginning of the studied period, when the insect population was still low, it was not possible to construct population maps using kriging interpolation because the distance between sampling points was too large to detect spatial dependence. For this reason, it was concluded that for this period, more than 3 samples.ha -1 would be necessary to estimate the insect population.
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.
