RESUMO

Aedes aegypti control is achieved with chemical insecticides that can promote insecticide resistance. In the search for new forms of control, the use of botanical products is currently growing and many tests with oils have already been performed. The plant diversity of Araripe National Forest enables the study of several species against this vector. To evaluate the larvicidal effect of essential oils from plants of this forest, we used field rosemary, copaiba, bay leaf, cashew and pequi. The work was divided into three stages: all oils with the same dosage; the best oil at dosages of 0, 5, 10, 20, 50 and 75 µg/mL; and the best dosage at temperatures of 15, 20, 25, 30 and 35 °C. The oils of field rosemary, copaiba, bay leaf, cashew and pequi were good insecticides when used at dosages above 5 µg/mL. The bay leaf oil showed high larvicidal activity at all dosages tested, showing the highest efficiency at 75 µg/mL. Temperatures of 15 and 35 °C increased the susceptibility of the insect to the effect of the bay leaf oil. The essential oils of field rosemary, copaiba, bay leaf, cashew and pequi, from Araripe National Forest, applied at a dosage of 5µg/mL, showed insecticidal action, although with low efficiency.

RESUMO

This study evaluated the insecticidal activity of crude extracts from Enterolobium contortisiliquum (Vell.) seeds on eggs and larvae of A. aegypti, and also verified the phytochemical profile and the presence of lectins in the extract. The 0.15 M NaCl saline solution was used as the extracting substance. For tests with eggs and larvae, the crude extract was used in its raw form (RCE) and boiled at 100º C for 5 min (BCE). Concentrations of 4.68; 9.37; 18.75; 28.13; 37.13 and 46.89 mg/mL, with distilled water as a negative control. Assays were performed in triplicate. The results were subjected to analysis of variance, Tukey's test and Log-Probit analysis to determine LC50 and LC90. BCE showed better results on eggs than RCE, managing to prevent the hatching of larvae in 81.66% ± 10.40 of treated eggs, at a concentration of 46.89 mg/mL. The LC50 and LC90 were set at 35.95 and 52.67 mg/mL, respectively. In tests with larvae, concentrations of 46.89 and 37.13 mg/mL, for RCE and BCE, caused 100% mortality in 24 hours of exposure. Larval mortality at the other concentrations increased with exposure time extending to 48 h. RCE, at 48 h exposure is the most promising extract on larvae (E = 72.77%, LC90 = 10.86 mg/mL). In RCE, the presence of lectins and secondary metabolites: flavonoids, xanthones and phenols, were detected. The results demonstrate the potential of E. contortisiliquum seed extracts with ovicidal and larvicidal action on A. aegypti.

RESUMO

The black aphid Aphis craccivora Koch is one of the main pests of the caupi-bean crop Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp. Due to the need to find effective and safe methods of control, there has been an increase in research seeking natural alternatives. Thus, the objective of this work was to evaluate the potential of essential oils from jatoba Hymenaea courbaril, copaiba Copaifera langsdorffii and aroeira Schinus terebinthifolius to control nymphs and adults of A. craccivora. The oils were extracted from the leaves by the hydrodistillation method, diluted to 0.1% in distilled water with 2% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). Each treatment had four repetitions, plus a control with distilled water + 2% DMSO. The biotests were conducted in two stages: the first was conducted in the laboratory, under controlled conditions of temperature, relative humidity and photophase, and the second was conducted in the greenhouse, using only the treatment with the best laboratory test results. After 24, 48, 72, 96 and 120 hours of exposure, the insect mortalities were checked. In the first phase of the experiment, the aroeira oil showed 83.33% and 75.75% efficiency of mortality in nymphs and adults, respectively. In the greenhouse tests, this same oil showed 73.52% in nymphs and 62.85% in adults, opening new perspectives regarding its use as a natural insecticide for the control of the black aphid of the bean.

RESUMO

The aim of this study was to carry out phytochemical prospecting and evaluate the larvicidal activity of Himatanthus drasticus latex extracts against Aedes aegypti. The extracts were obtained by maceration from 5 g of latex powder concentrated separately in 100 mL of methanol, ethyl acetate, and hexane solvents. The concentrations of 100, 200, 300, 400, and 500 ppm of each extract were tested in triplicate with a solution of pyriproxyfen as the positive control and distilled water and dimethylsulfoxide as the negative control. The phytochemical prospection of the methanolic extract showed the presence of phenolic compounds, such as anthocyanins, anthocyanidins, catechins, chalcones, aurones, leucoanthocyanidins, and condensed tannins. The insecticidal bioactivity was most significant for the methanolic extract. The methanolic extract lethal concentrations (LC) of 50 and 90% were 190.76 and 464.74 ppm, respectively. After 48 hours of exposure, the extracts using methanol, ethyl acetate, and hexane at their highest concentrations (500 ppm) caused larval mortality of 100, 73.33, and 66.67%, respectively. These extracts also promoted changes in the external morphology of the larvae, such as damage to the anal papillae, darkening of the body, and reduction in the number of bristles. The methanolic extract showed greater expressivity for morphological changes. The latex of H. drasticus has larvicidal activity against third-stade larvae of A. aegypti and it is more significant when obtained through maceration in methanol. The methanolic extract of H. drasticus latex contains phenolic compounds with insecticidal activity against A. aegypti larvae.

Resumo Esse estudo avaliou a atividade inseticida dos extratos brutos das sementes de Enterolobium contortisiliquum (Vell.) sobre ovos e larvas do A. aegypti, verificou também o perfil fitoquímico e a presença de lectinas no extrato. A solução salina de NaCl 0,15 M foi utilizada como substância extratora. Para os ensaios com ovos e larvas, o extrato bruto foi utilizado na forma crua (RCE) e fervida a 100º C por 5 min (BCE). Foram testadas as concentrações de 4,68; 9,37; 18,75; 28,13; 37,13 e 46,89 mg/mL, tendo a água destilada como controle negativo. Os ensaios foram realizados em triplicada. Os resultados foram submetidos à análise de variância, Teste de Tukey e análise Log-Probit para determinar CL50 e 90. O BCE apresentou melhores resultados sobre os ovos do que o RCE, conseguindo impedir a eclosão das larvas de 81,66% ± 10,40 dos ovos tratados, na concentração de 46,89 mg/mL. As respectivas CL50 e 90, foram definidas em 35,95 e 52,67 mg/mL, respectivamente. Nos testes com larvas, as concentrações de 46,89 e 37,13 mg/mL, para RCE e BCE, causaram 100% de mortalidade em 24 horas de exposição. A mortalidade larval nas demais concentrações aumentou com o tempo de exposição estendendo-se para 48 h. RCE, com 48 h de exposição é o extrato mais promissor sobre as larvas (E = 72,77%, CL90 = 10,86 mg/mL). Em RCE, a presença de lectinas e os metabólitos secundários: flavonoides, xantonas e fenóis, foram detectadas. Os resultados demonstram o potencial dos extratos das sementes de E. contortisiliquum com ação ovicida e larvicida sobre o A. aegypti.

Resumo O pulgão preto Aphis craccivora Koch é uma das principais pragas da cultura do feijão-caupi Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp. Em virtude da necessidade de encontrar métodos eficazes e seguros de controle, tem-se aumentado as pesquisas buscando alternativas naturais. Dessa forma, o objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o potencial dos óleos essenciais de jatobá Hymenaea courbaril, copaíba Copaifera langsdorffii e aroeira Schinus terebinthifolius para controlar ninfas e adultos de A. craccivora. Os óleos foram extraídos das folhas pelo método de hidrodestilação, diluídos a 0,1% em água destilada com Dimetilsufóxido a 2% (DMSO). Cada tratamento possuiu quatro repetições, além da testemunha com água destilada + DMSO 2%. Os biotestes foram conduzidos em duas etapas: a primeira foi realizada em laboratório, sob condições controladas de temperatura, umidade relativa do ar e fotofase e a segunda foi realizada em casa de vegetação, utilizando apenas o tratamento com melhor resultado do teste em laboratório. Depois de transcorridos 24, 48, 72, 96 e 120 horas de exposição, foram verificadas as mortalidades dos insetos. Na primeira fase do experimento, o óleo de aroeira apresentou 83,33% e 75,75% de eficiência de mortalidade em ninfas e adultos, respectivamente. Nos testes em casa de vegetação, esse mesmo óleo apresentou 73,52% em ninfas e 62,85% e em adultos, abrindo novas perspectivas quanto à sua utilização como inseticida natural para o controle do pulgão preto do feijoeiro.

O objetivo deste estudo foi realizar a prospecção fitoquímica e avaliar a atividade larvicida de extratos de látex de Himatanthus drasticus contra A. aegypti. Os extratos foram obtidos por maceração de 5 g de látex em pó concentrado separadamente em 100 mL dos solventes metanol, acetato de etila e hexano. As concentrações de 100, 200, 300, 400 e 500 ppm de cada extrato foram testadas em triplicata com uma solução de piriproxifeno como controle positivo e água destilada e dimetilsulfóxido como controle negativo. A prospecção fitoquímica do extrato metanólico mostrou a presença de compostos fenólicos, como antocianinas, antocianidinas, catequinas, chalconas, auronas, leucoantocianidinas e taninos condensados. A bioatividade inseticida foi mais significativa para o extrato metanólico. As concentrações letais (CL) do extrato metanólico de 50 e 90% foram 190,76 e 464,74 ppm, respectivamente. Após 48 horas de exposição, os extratos utilizando metanol, acetato de etila e hexano em suas maiores concentrações (500 ppm) causaram mortalidade larval de 100, 73,33 e 66,67%, respectivamente. Esses extratos também promoveram alterações na morfologia externa das larvas, como danos às papilas anais, escurecimento do corpo e redução do número de cerdas. O extrato metanólico apresentou maior expressividade para alterações morfológicas. O látex de H. drasticus possui atividade larvicida contra larvas de terceiro estádio de A. aegypti e é mais significativa quando obtido por maceração em metanol. O extrato metanólico do látex de H. drasticus contém compostos fenólicos com atividade inseticida contra larvas de A. aegypti.

RESUMO

This work aimed to evaluate the efficacy of alternative traps and food lures in capturing fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritidae). This research was carried out in a guava orchard in Crato, state of Ceará, Brazil, from 6 November to 18 December 2009 (traps) and from 13 January to 24 February 2010 (food lures). To compare them with McPhail traps containing hydrolyzed corn protein as food lure, we utilized margarine containers, vinegar bottles, PET bottles, alcohol bottles, vegetable oil bottles, saline-solution bottles and detergent bottles. For purposes of food lure comparison, sugarcane juice, industrialized baker's yeast, red grape vinegar, guava juice, brown sugar, human urine and crystal sugar were used as alternatives to hydrolyzed corn protein, using the McPhail traps. The experiments were set up using a completely randomized design; evaluations occurred once a week. PET bottles may replace McPhail traps, with higher captures of fruit flies observed at the first and second evaluation after installation of traps. Guava juice may replace hydrolyzed corn protein to capture these pests, while industrialized baker's yeast and red grape vinegar were inefficient in fruit fly capture.

Os estudos foram realizados em um pomar de goiaba no Crato, CE, nos períodos de 6 de novembro a 18 de dezembro de 2009 (armadilhas) e 13 de janeiro a 24 de fevereiro de 2010 (atrativos). Utilizaram-se pote de margarina, frasco de vinagre, garrafa PET, frasco de álcool, garrafa de óleo vegetal, garrafa de detergente e garrafa de soro, para comparar com a armadilha McPhail, tendo como atrativo alimentar a proteína hidrolisada de milho. Empregaram-se caldo de cana-de-açúcar, fermento industrializado de pão, vinagre tinto de uva, suco de goiaba, açúcar mascavo, urina humana e açúcar cristal, para comparar com a proteína hidrolisada de milho, utilizando-se a armadilha McPhail. Os experimentos foram inteiramente casualizados, com avaliações semanais. A garrafa PET pode ser utilizada em substituição a McPhail na captura de moscas-das-frutas, com maiores capturas na primeira e segunda avaliação após a instalação das armadilhas. O suco de goiaba pode ser utilizado na captura de moscas-das-frutas em substituição a proteína hidrolisada de milho, enquanto que o fermento e o vinagre demonstraram-se ineficazes.

RESUMO

Devido à importância das moscas-das-frutas como pragas da fruticultura, este trabalho teve como objetivos caracterizar as populações das moscas-das-frutas em pomares comerciais de goiaba na região do Cariri, Estado do Ceará, por meio de índices faunísticos e estudar a flutuação populacional dessas moscas ao longo do ano. Para isso, foram instaladas armadilhas McPhail nos Municípios de Barbalha, Crato e Juazeiro do Norte. As armadilhas foram examinadas semanalmente e as moscas capturadas foram triadas, conservadas em álcool a 70% e identificadas. Constatou-se que Anastrepha zenildae (Wiedemann), A. sororcula Zucchi, A. fraterculus (Wiedemann), A. obliqua (Macquart) e Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) foram as moscas-das-frutas associadas à goiaba. Dessas, A. zenildae. A. sororcula e A. obliqua foram dominantes e constantes na região estudada, enquanto que A. fraterculus e C. capitata foram não-dominantes, mas também constantes. A. zenildae ocorreu em quase todos os meses do ano, exceto em outubro e dezembro de 2008, nos três pomares de goiaba do Cariri e com picos populacionais nos meses mais chuvosos e com temperaturas amenas.

Dessas, A. zenildae. A. sororcula e A. obliqua foram dominantes e constantes na região estudada, enquanto que A. fraterculus e C. capitata foram não-dominantes, mas também constantes. A. zenildae ocorreu em quase todos os meses do ano, exceto em outubro e dezembro de 2008, nos três pomares de goiaba do Cariri e com picos populacionais nos meses mais chuvosos e com temperaturas amenas.
