Control of Anastrepha fraterculus (Diptera: Tephritidae) is usually accomplished with synthetic insecticides, which can be a problem considering exportation of fruits. This study aimed to evaluate mortality and offspring effects on A. fraterculus using peach, strawberry guava and apple fruits treated with andiroba (Carapa guianensis) oil. Higher mortality rate was observed when compared to control on strawberry guava and apple fruits treated with andiroba oil (18.4 % and 35.0 % points more than the control). The mean number of pupae observed in the offspring was inferior to the control on strawberry guava and apple fruits treated with andiroba oil (100 % control) and, on peach fruits (68.3 % fewer pupae). Andiroba oil shows promising results as an alternative product to control A. fraterculus. Studies are still needed especially considering the effectiveness of andiroba oil under field conditions.

“…The seeds of andiroba (C. guianensis) contain substances called limonoids, which have proven antifeedant effect on insects (Ambrozin et al, 2006). Rosa, Boff, Gonçalves, Boff, and Nunes (2013) found fruit fly repellence of andiroba oil using traps in a field experiment. In a similar experiment to the one conducted in the present study, Nunes et al (2015a) found mortality of adults and larvae when pear fruits (Pyrus communis) were treated with andiroba oil and supplied to A. fraterculus flies.…”

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of botanical oils on adult mortality and oviposition repellency of Anastrepha fraterculus in peach, apple and red cattley guava fruits. The fruits were treated by the dip method for 15 seconds with botanical oils of Ruta graveolens (0.05%), Cymbopogon citratus (1%), Cymbopogon winterianus (10%), Carapa guianensis (25%) and distilled water was used as a control. The experiments were carried out in a completely randomized design with twenty replicates. After being treated, the fruits were dried at room temperature, placed in separate plastic containers (750 mL) and transferred to a room at 25±2 °C. Each fruit was exposed to two fruit fly couples for 48 hours. After this period, the amount of dead insects was recorded. On apple fruits kept in containers with sterilized vermiculite, the effect of the treatments on A. fraterculus biology was evaluated for 36 days, and data were collected on the amount of pupae in the second generation. C. winterianus oil presented mortality rates of 100 and 80% of adults in peach and apple fruits, respectively. C. citratus oil caused a significantly different mortality rate compared to the control in peach fruits, whereas C. guianensis oil caused A. fraterculus mortality in red cattley guava and apple fruits. The mortality of A. fraterculus in fruits treated with R. graveolens oil did not differ from the control treatment. The botanical oils of C. winterianus and C. guianensis protected apple fruits by preventing A. fraterculus proliferation, and there was a significant reduction of the amount of pupae in the second generation. Botanic oils presented potential for suppression of fruit flies; however, further studies are necessary to test and make them feasible under field conditions.

“…O fruto é usado por alguns insetos como meio de oviposição e nutrição das larvas até a forma adulta. Também sendo utilizado para o tratamento de feridas e massagens terapêuticas (ROSA et al, 2013;SILVA et al, 2015;ARAÚJO et al, 2017).…”

RESUMO A andiroba é utilizada por populações residentes na região Amazônica com uma grande diversidade de uso medicinal. O objetivo deste trabalho consistiu em uma investigação sobre a etnofarmacologia da Carapa guianensis em bases de dados indexadas analisando os usos e manejos realizados. Foram consultados artigos indexados em bases de dados da Internet (PubMed, LILACS, SciELO e Periódicos Capes), entre julho de 2017 e junho de 2018. Considerando o termo de busca "Carapa guianensis", nenhum filtro, como idioma ou intervalo de datas, foi aplicado à pesquisa. A contagem múltipla (duplicação) das publicações foi rastreada e excluída. Um total de 46 artigos indexados, variando entre os anos de 2005 a 2018, que se referiam a C. guianensis, foram encontrados em todas as bases de dados. A maioria (89%) dos trabalhos publicados foram desenvolvidos na região Neotropical. Este resultado pode ser decorrente da disponibilidade de extratos da planta, normalmente encontrados em países tropicais. Em uma parcela dos 46 (100%) trabalhos publicados foi demonstrado que a andiroba pode ser utilizada como insetífugo (17,40%), carrapaticida (6,52%), anti-inflamatório (8,70%), antiparasitário (8,70%), antimicrobiano (4,34%) e antialérgico (4,34%). Os estudos de C. guianensis revelam que a planta possui fatores fitoquímicos eficientes para o seu uso terapêutico. Estes constituintes, identificados nos estudos, são eficazes principalmente como insetífugo, carrapaticida e anti-inflamatório.
