چکیده

The composition of a chloroform seed extract of C. papaya was determined by GC-MS. Nineteen compounds were identified, with oleic (45.97%), palmitic (24.1%) and stearic (8.52%) acids being the main components. The insecticidal and insectistatic activities of the extract and the three main constituents were tested. Larval duration increased by 3.4 d and 2.5 d when the extract was used at 16,000 and 9,600 ppm, respectively, whereas the pupal period increased by 2.2 d and 1.1 d at the same concentrations. Larval viability values were 0%, 29.2%, and 50% when the extract was applied at 24,000, 16,000, and 9,600 ppm, respectively; pupal viability was 42.9% and 66.7% at 16,000 and 9,600 ppm; and pupal weight decreased by 25.4% and 11.5% at 16,000 and 9,600 ppm. The larval viability of the main compounds was 33.3%, 48.5%, and 62.5% when exposed to 1,600 ppm of palmitic acid, oleic acid, or stearic acid, respectively.

Bacillus thuringiensis Survey in Brazil: Geographical Distribution and Insecticidal Activity Against Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)

A total of 3408 strains of Bacillus thuringiensis were collected from 1448 soil samples in 10 Brazilian states, four different geographical regions, covering 96 counties. These strains were evaluated against Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith) larvae. Only 62% killed between 81% and 100% and 1758 caused no mortality. Highest proportion of efficient strains (larval mortality above 75%) was found ...

Field trials using Spodoptera frugiperda (J. E. Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) and Euxesta stigmatias Loew (Diptera: Ulidiidae) were conducted to evaluate resistance and potential damage interactions between these two primary corn, Zea mays L., pests against Lepidoptera-resistant corn varieties derived from both endogenous and exogenous sources. The endogenous source of resistance was maysin, ...
