“…The choice of plants for cultivation may influence the insect regarding host selection, occurrence and establishment in agroecosystem. Studies on nutritional ecology contribute to understanding the dynamics of pests in crops, offering predictions about the development and reproduction of the species in agricultural areas, and this is a crucial vision for pest management and sustainable agriculture (PANIZZI & PARRA, 2009;FAVETTI et al, 2015;RODRIGUES et al, 2015;SILVA et al, 2017;SILVA et al, 2019).…”

This study evaluated the effect of different crops grown during soybean offseason on the development and reproduction of Spodoptera eridania (Cramer). The experiment was conducted in laboratory at 25°C±1°C, relative air humidity of 70%±10% and a 12h photophase. The plants evaluated were cotton (FMT 701), sunflower (Embrapa 122-V2000), rattlebox (Crotalaria spectabilis Roth), corn (Dekalb 370) and millet (DR-300). The less suitable hosts for the survival of S. eridania were rattlebox, corn and millet. Only cotton and sunflower the specie completed its development (egg to adult). Corn, millet and rattlebox were the crops that most affected the performance of S. eridania, and therefore they could potentially be used in the soybean offseason period to interrupt the life cycle of this species, and thus reduce population incidence during soybean season.

Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith) is a major pest of cowpea, (Vigna unguiculata [L] Walp.) (Fabales: Fabaceae), and to date, few tactics are available to control this pest. This study was conducted to evaluate whether cowpea commercial cultivars and landrace varieties express antibiosis to S. frugiperda. The commercial cultivars were developed by the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (Embrapa), and the landrace varieties were obtained from indigenous communities of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. The effects of the cowpea genotypes (commercial cultivars and landrace varieties) were assessed on the development, survival, and reproductive capacity of the insect. Out of six genotypes, the two landraces were the most resistant to the pest. Landrace Juti decreased larval weight and survival, and no larvae reached the pupal phase. Landrace Nioaque adversely affected the larval and pupal weight, the period of development from larva to pupa, adult emergence, and the period of development from larva to adult. The cultivar Fradinho was classified as moderately resistant for reducing the larval and pupal weights, and delaying the period of development from larva to pupa. The cultivar Miranda was susceptible regarding the growth and survival of S. frugiperda, however, females reared on this cultivar laid a lower number of eggs. The resistant genotypes, especially the landrace varieties are promising for future plant breeding programs, with the objective of developing resistant cultivars to S. frugiperda larvae.

Neem: A Novel Biocide for Pest and Disease Control of Plants

Plant extracts have recently captivated scientists’ attention as a potential source of biocide for plant protection. This is due to the health and environmental risks associated with the widespread use of synthetic chemicals with adverse effects on humans, nontarget organisms, and the agroecosystem. As a result, more environmentally friendly and safe alternative approaches to synthetic compounds are desirable. Neem (Azadirachta indica) has been identified as a promising biocontrol agent with low toxicity and high efficacy among several plant products for potential chemotherapeutic elements in plant pest and disease management systems. The biocidal potency of neem is attributed to its azadirachtin active ingredient, which impacts some metabolic processes in insects such as protein synthesis, changes in biological fitness, impaired sexual communication, and chitin synthesis. This systematic review intends to gather all the available scientific data regarding the application of neem and its formulations in pest and disease control of plants. The PRISMA (preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analysis) framework was employed in collecting data for the study. Findings from this review study have demonstrated the use of neem as an effective biocontrol agent for plants’ pests and diseases and have provided a solid foundation for future studies on the plant.
