The Engineering Research Center - Plant Health in Sugarcane (ERC-PHS) is proposed to develop basic and applied studies on sugarcane pest management. Despite the historical success of biological control programs of insect pests and breeding programs for diseases, the sugarcane industry still faces important pest and disease problems. The ERC-PHS is an interdisciplinary and multi-institute …
Modern agriculture can no longer be based on the intensive use of agricultural inputs that affect the environment. In this way, researchers, farmers and consumers must evolve towards ecologically and economically satisfactory production, in addition, new technologies must be adopted in order to optimize productivity while maintaining sustainable environment base. In this sense, there is a…
We propose a revolutionary approach to pest management that will enhance the sustainability of crop production. Insecticide resistance evolution occurs when a single control agent is applied over extensive areas, causing consistent selection for rare resistance genes. To prevent these selective sweeps, we investigate how multiple fungal biopesticide strains can be used heterogeneously acr…

Fall armyworm Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith, 1797) is the principal corn pest in Brazil, and several countries of the world. An alternative employed for management of thickest is the utilization of the corn transgenic plants that express toxins insecticides produced by the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt). However problems caused by the evolution of resistence have challenged of …

New technologies must be adopted with the objective of optimizing productivity and adding development to Brazilian agribusiness. However, this development must be based on environmentally sustainable strategies. Microencapsulation has been shown to be an excellent alternative to protect biological control agents from external factors, increasing their effectiveness. In the case of chemica…

Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) bacteria have been recognized for their high potential in the control of various agricultural pests. Recently, there has been multiple advances in both, the research and the market of novel insecticidal products, involving this biological agent. Developments in micro/nanotechnology have opened new perspectives for the production of more efficient formulations t…
Pesticide-resistant herbivores are among the most important and expensive obstacles to food security. Brazilian agriculture is highly productive, but large-scale cultivation, cultivation systems and inadequate use of isolated methods of insect control have contributed to the evolution of resistance in field populations. Therefore, the aim of this project is to quantify responses to consis…
Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner, 1805) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) is an important exotic pest, highly polyphagous and widely distributed. The use of Cry toxins from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) has been broadly used to control this pest worldwide, as bioinsecticides or transgenic plants expressing toxins of this bacterium (Bt plants). Among the Cry toxins that possess activity against H. armige…
