The soybean stink bug complex consists mainly of the pentatomids Euschistus heros (F.), Piezodorus guildinii (W.) and Diceraeus melacanthus (D.), which represent a serious threat to this crop in Brazil. Its attack can cause deformation of the seeds, abscission of pods, loss of vigor and germination, in addition to leaf retention, with direct reflections on the crop yield. The stink bugs m…
Soybean [Glycine max L. (Merrill)] is considered a commodity, with high yield and great participation in Brazilian exports. However, pest attack may reduce a significant portion of the production. The silverleaf whitefly Bemisia tabaci biotype B (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) has become an important pest for soybean due to raising infestation levels and difficulty of its management. Whitefly's …
Coffee crop has great economic importance in the world scenario, being Brazil the largest exporter and producer. This crop is going through a global market expansion, making necessary to minimize the impasses of its production, such as the insect pest attack. Among the common insect species found in this crop, we highlight the coffee leaf miner, Leucoptera coffeella (Lepidoptera: Lyonetii…
Tomato Solanum lycopersicon L. (Solanaceae) has a great economic importance in Brazil, with the high in natura production and consumption as well as industrial processing. Whitefly species of Bemisia tabaci complex (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) are key tomato pests due to direct and indirect damage, which reduces crop yield. In Brazil, B. tabaci Mediterranean (MED) was first identified in 2014…
The soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill] is a major crop in Brazil, and its grains presents a wide range of uses, being useful since to human nutrition until to oil and biodiesel production. Among the biggest producers of soybean in the world, Brazil stands out at the second position, with 95,631 million tons harvested in 2015/16, staying back only the United States.
