Insecticidal activity of extracts of Tithonia diversifolia (Hemsl.) A. Gray (Asteraceae) against the diamondback moth Plutella xylostella (L.) (Lepidoptera: Yponomeutidae). The diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella (L.) (Lepidoptera: Yponomeutidae) is one of the most destructive pests on cruciferous plants. Generally farmers use synthetic insecticides to control this pest. Intensive and excessive use of insecticides can cause some undesirable effects such as resistance, resurgence, and contamination of insecticide on environment. One effort to solve the problems caused by synthetic insecticides use is by utilization of botanical materials that are potential to be used as botanical insecticides, one of them is Tithonia diversifolia (Asteraceae). The purpose of this research was to study the insecticidal activity of T. diversifolia as a botanical insecticide against P. xylostella. The leaf residual and topical application methods were used to assess the mortality effect of the extracts. Insect mortality rate was analyzed using probit analysis to obtain LC50 and LC95 values. The results showed that the flower extract had better activity on insect mortality than the leaf extract both in leaf residual and topical application treatments.

“…The leaf cutting-ants are one of the most significant pests in Neotropical America damaging almost all cultivated plants and causing losses to agriculture, forest and pasture plants (Zanetti et al, 2000a;Zanuncio et al, 2002). Leaf cutting-ants use green leaves what justifies their importance by reducing survival, growth and reproduction of plant of economic value (Zanetti et al, 2000b;Zanetti et al, 2014).…”

Toxicity of plant extracts from Bahia, Brazil, to Atta sexdens sexdens workers (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)

Ants of the Atta and Acromyrmex genera (Formicidae: Myrmicinae: Attini) are the true leaf cutting-ants with species of economic importance in America Neotropical and mainly controlled by toxic baits. There are few active ingredients for use in baits, being necessary studies to indicate molecules with insecticide potential. The aim of this study was to evaluate the toxicity of . The contact and ingestion toxicity of all extracts to this ant by was evaluated by topical application and addition in their diet, respectively. Data of contact application were submitted to analysis of variance and Tukey test while those from ingestion were compared by survival curves using the statistical test ¨log rank¨. Through contact, the leaf and branch extracts of Z. rhoifolium and of that of bark of S. amara were the most toxic ones. Through ingestion, four extracts were toxic and showed delayed action. The extract of Z. rhoifolium branches presented the slowest action (S 50 = 10 days). This characteristic is crucial for toxic baits. The Z. rhoifolium leaf and branch extracts were the only ones with contact and ingestion toxicity to A. sexdens sexdens workers.

-The objective of this work was to evaluate spatial and temporal distributions of Sarsina violascens (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae: Lymantriinae) in two Eucalyptus cloeziana plantations, one with native vegetation strips (WNVS) and another without them (ONVS). Adults were collected with light traps, which were installed: inside an area of native vegetation (Cerrado), 100 m from the edge; at the contact zone between the native vegetation area and the E. cloeziana plantation; inside the E. cloeziana plantation, 250 m from the edge; at the central part of the native vegetation strip, around 500 m from the edge (WNVS) or in the contact zone between two E. cloeziana compartments (ONVS); and inside the E. cloeziana plantation, 500 m from the edge. The number of S. violascens adults collected was 240 in the system WNVS and 1,378 in the system ONVS. The lower number of individuals in the system WNVS was probably due to favored biological control provided by higher species richness with the use of native vegetation strips. These strips, intermingled with E. cloeziana plantations, allow a higher proportion of native forest in the landscape and can help to reduce S. violascens infestations.
