“…Environmental factors such as humidity and temperature can interfere with the attractiveness of the insects to traps, since this process is carried out by olfactory stimuli activated by chemical substances volatilized by plants or by attractants added to traps (Pavarini et al, 2018;Oliveira et al, 2018). Although Metamasius spp.…”

Banana (Musa spp.) is one of the most consumed fruits in the world, being of great economic importance to Brazil. However, insect pest attack has limited its production. This study aimed to monitor the populations of Cosmopolites sordidus and Metamasius spp. in areas of cultivation of bananas cv. Pacovan using a food attractant and a bioinsecticide in order to control their populations. The research was carried out in three rural properties, where roof tile-type baits made of pseudostems of banana trees, containing the treatments Boveril® (bioinsecticide -Beauveria bassiana); sugarcane molasses; and the control treatment were set up. The baits, placed beside the clumps, were replaced every two weeks, and the adult insects were removed and counted weekly. Insect infestation was analyzed as a function of the treatments used in the baits, as well as of the influence of weather conditions on the banana weevil borer populations in the three properties. The randomized blocks experimental design was used, in a 3x5 factorial design (treatments and months of evaluation). The treatment-free baits were as efficient in collecting banana weevil borers as those containing the bioinsecticide and sugarcane molasses. The successive captures of C. sordidus with the use of the roof tile-type baits reduced the number of insects without the need for chemical control; the behavior of Metamasius spp. may have been influenced by local weather conditions; in two properties, two-to three-fold more individuals of Metamasius spp were captured in relation to C. sordidus, indicating high infestation of Metamasius spp. in the cultivar Pacovan.

“…Facundo et al [18] states that the various banana genotypes have different volatile compounds that vary according to variety. According to Oliveira et al [11], the volatiles found in banana genotypes, whether varieties or hybrids, have the same attractiveness for C. sordidus. However, there is variation in the composition and concentration of volatiles that may vary among banana genotypes, reflecting the responses of C. sordidus adults to each genetic material [18,19].…”

“…This fungus as well as other entomopathogenic fungi penetrate the host via the integument, causing the death of insects due to mycotoxin production, and due to vegetative growth promoting mechanical blockage of the digestive tract and other physical damage due to mycelial growth [7]. Several studies have been performed to detect C. sordidus olfactory preference to different banana varieties [8,9,10,11]. However, studies are needed to provide information on C. sordidus olfactory preference for entomopathogenic fungi.…”

The species: Cosmopolites sordidus (Germar) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) stands out as one of the main pests of banana. The damage to the crop is caused by the larvae of this pest, when they feed on the plant tissues. The aim of this study was to investigate the olfactory responses of C. sordidus for different varieties and the possible olfactory interference after application of Beauveria bassiana fungus on the crop. The research was conducted at the Phytosanitary Clinic in the Agriculture Sector of the Center for Humanities, Social and Agrarian Sciences of the Federal University of Paraíba, located in Bananeiras -PB, Brazil, from January to July 2017. The experimental design was completely randomized, with four treatments represented by banana varieties (Apple, Silver, Salustino et al.; JEAI, 40(4): 1-6, 2019; Article no.JEAI.51228 2 Nanica and Pacovan) with 11 replications each. The bioassays were distributed in two stages; the first stage was an evaluation of the attractiveness of banana genotypes and rhizome and pseudostem tissues. In the second, the attractiveness of C. sordidus to the tissues contaminated with the fungus B. bassiana was investigated. The Prata banana plantation was less attractive to C. sordidus, the highest preference was to the Nanica banana plantation. The most attractive tissue was pseudostem. Given the conditions under which the study was conducted, the banana plantation and the plant tissues analyzed present an olfactory influence under Cosmopolites sordidus. The Nanica banana plantation is the most susceptible to insect attack. The application of the fungus Beauveria bassiana on banana baits does not interfere with the odour conditions exerted the nanica banana plantation under C. sordidus. Short Research Article
