Journal ArticleDOI
Insecticide survival and behavioral avoidance in the lacewings Chrysoperla externa and Ceraeochrysa cubana.
TL;DR: The notion that natural compounds are safer than synthetic compounds to non-target species is refuted in the present study, which also detected significant irritability to all of the insecticides regardless of their origin, and species-specific repellence elicited particularly by azadirachtin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Demographics and Genetic Variability of the New World Bollworm (Helicoverpa zea) and the Old World Bollworm (Helicoverpa armigera) in Brazil
TL;DR: The results suggest that sustainable management plans for the control of H. armigera will be challenging considering the high genetic diversity, polyphagous feeding habits, and great potential mobility of this pest on numerous hosts, which favor the adaptation of this insect to diverse environments and control strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Insecticide-induced hormesis in an insecticide-resistant strain of the maize weevil, Sitophilus zeamais
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported the stimulatory effect of sub-lethal doses of the pyrethroid insecticide deltamethrin sprayed on maize grains infested with a resistant strain of the maize weevil (Sitophilus zeamais) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae).
Journal ArticleDOI
Azadirachtin avoidance by larvae and adult females of the tomato leafminer Tuta absoluta
Hudson V. V. Tomé,Júlio Cláudio Martins,Alberto S. Corrêa,Tarcísio Visintin da Silva Galdino,Marcelo Coutinho Picanço,Raul Narciso C. Guedes +5 more
TL;DR: The results indicate the potential of azadirachtin not only as an insecticide potentially important for organic farming, but also as an egg-laying deterrent minimizing T. absoluta infestation although it may also favor escape by larvae to exposure since it sparks behavioral avoidance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Survival and behavior of the insecticide-exposed predators Podisus nigrispinus and Supputius cincticeps (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae)
A.A. de Castro,Alberto S. Corrêa,Alberto S. Corrêa,Jesusa Crisostomo Legaspi,Raul Narciso C. Guedes,José Eduardo Serrão,J. C. Zanuncio +6 more
TL;DR: Results indicate that substitution of pyrethroid and organophosphate insecticides at their field rates by chlorantraniliprole may be a key factor for the success of IPM programs of A. gemmatalis in soybeans.
