ResumoExtratos vegetais foram estudados com o objetivo de avaliar suas eficiências no controle de Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus (Canestrini, 1887) AbstractPlant extracts were studied to evaluate its efficiency in the control of Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus (Canestrini, 1887) in laboratory. Engorged female ticks were collected from the cattle, kept in Petri dishes. Organic alcoholic extracts 2% (weight/volume) were used: seeds of Annona muricata L. (Annonaceae) (soursop); flowers of Syzygium malaccensis (L.) (Myrtaceae) (iamb), leaves of Cymbopogon citratus (DC.) Stapf (Poaceae) (holy grass), leaves of Azadirachta indica A. Juss (Meliaceae) (neem) and hexane extract 2% (weight/volume) of A. indica (seeds). The control groups consisted of untreated females and females treated with distilled water and sterile and dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) a concentration of 1%. The extract of A. muricata (seed) had the highest mortality with acaricide activity and 100% efficacy followed by extracts of S. malaccensis (75 and 59.24%) and A. indica (65 and 38.49%). The seed extract of A. muricata reduced 100% larvae hatch.

Organic plant extracts and emulsified oil of Azadirachta indica A. Juss (Meliaceae) (neem) were studied to evaluate its effects in control of engorged females of Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus (Canestrini, 1887) in the laboratory. Hexane and alcoholic organic extracts, 2% (weight/volume) were used in tests of immersion for 5 minutes, prepared with seeds, solubilized in dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) to 1%. The experiment was entirely randomized, consisting of 6 treatments and 5 replicates, each represented by 5 ticks. Control groups consisted of untreated females. Based on the results of this work, we can indicate that the seed extract (hexanic fraction) and óleo emulsionável I¹ concentration to 2% have significant adjuvant potential to control the cattle tick, because, cause the mortality in the first days after the treatment and interfere in the reproduction, showing to be an alternative to acaricides normally used.

RESUMOObjetivou-se com este trabalho avaliar em laboratório, a 26±2°C; UR 60±10% e fotofase de 12 horas, a influência do herbicida metribuzin 480 SC, do inseticida químico carbaril 480 SC, do fungo Metarhizium anisopliae (Metsch) Sorokin e do óleo emulsionável de nim, Azadirachta indica A. Juss, sobre o parasitismo, a emergência e a longevidade de Trichogramma galloi Zucchi, 1988, criados em ovos de Diatraea saccharalis (Fabricius, 1794). Conduziu-se o ensaio utilizando-se 100 posturas, obtidas em laboratório, nas 24 horas após a oviposição, as quais foram tratadas por imersão e oferecidas aos parasitóides. O delineamento experimental foi inteiramente casualizado com dez tratamentos e dez repetições. O parasitismo foi prejudicado pelo nim nas concentrações de 0,33; 0,53 e 1%, seguido pelo carbaril a 4%, metribuzim a 2,14% e M. anisopliae (IPA 159E) a 0,4%. A emergência do parasitóide foi reduzida quando se utilizou o carbaril, M. anisopliae (IPA 159E) e metribuzim e, a longevidade foi afetada quando se empregou metribuzim e M. anisopliae (IPA 159E) com uma variação média menor que 24 horas.

ABSTRACTThe objective was to evaluate, in laboratory, at 26°C, UR 60±10% and 12 hours photophase, the influence of herbicide metribuzin 480 SC, the chemical insecticide carbaryl 480 SC, the entomophatogen Metarhizium anisopliae (Metsch) Sorokin and emulsionable neem oil, Azadirachta indica A. Juss, on the parasitism, emergency and longevity of Trichogramma galloi Zucchi, 1988, reared in eggs of Diatraea saccharalis (Fabricius, 1794). The bioassay was conducted using one hundred postures, from laboratory rearing, in the 24 hours after oviposition, which were treated by immersion and offered to the natural enemies. The experimental design was entirely randomized with ten treatments and ten repetitions. The parasitism was harmed by neem in the concentrations (0.33, 0.53 and 1%), followed for carbaryl 4%, metribuzim 2.14% and M. anisopliae (IPA 159E) 0.4%. The emergency of the parasitoid was reduced for the treatments: carbaryl, M. anisopliae (IPA 159E) and metribuzim, and the longevity for metribuzim and M. anisopliae (IPA 159E) with an average variation lower that 24 hours.

RESUMO: A quantificação de inimigos naturais presentes em uma cultura é importante, porque influi nas decisões a serem tomadas em relação ao Manejo Integrado de Pragas. Assim, este trabalho teve por objetivos identificar e quantificar gêneros de parasitóides de Cerconota anonella (Sepp.) PARASITOIDS OF Cerconota anonella (Sepp., 1830) (Lep.: Oecophoridae) IN SOURSOP (Annona muricata L.)ABSTRACT: The quantification of natural enemies actually living within a given crop is very important, because it helps in pest control decisions. Therefore a survey of natural enemies of Cerconota anonella (Sepp.) was carried out in a soursop crop between March,1997 and April,1998

This research is related to the control of Cerconota anonella (Sepp.) (Lepidoptera: Oecophoridae), the most important pest of soursop, Annona muricata L. Nine treatments were tested with twenty replications in a completely randomized design. The best results were obtained using microperforated plastic bags and clorphiriphos treated kraft paper bags.
