Novos registros de entedoníneos (Hymenoptera, Eulophidae) para a cultura do café (Coffea arabica L.)
(Editora UFLA, 2011-09) Lara, Rogéria Inês Rosa; Perioto, Nelson Wanderley; Miranda, Natalia Furlan; Fernandes, Daniell Rodrigo Rodrigues; Martinelli, Nilza Maria
São relatadas as primeiras ocorrências de Emersonella pubipennis Hansson, 2002, Emersonella planiceps Hansson, 2002, Omphale huggerti (Hansson, 1988), Chrysocharis caribea Boucek, 1977, Chrysocharis vonones (Walker, 1839) e Chrysocharis tristis Hansson, 1987 (Hymenoptera, Eulophidae, Entedoninae) na cultura do café Coffea arabica L., com base em exemplares coletados em Cravinhos (21°18’S/47°47’O), SP. Trata-se também dos primeiros relatos de ocorrência de E. pubipennis e O. huggerti para o Brasil. Tais insetos foram coletados com armadilhas de Moericke e luminosas entre maio de 2005 e abril de 2007.
Selectivity of rynaxypyr for three species of phytoseiid mites relevant to coffee in Brazil
(Editora UFLA, 2011-09) Reis, Paulo Rebelles; Franco, Renato André; Silva, Fábio M. Andrade
Among the predaceous mites, those of the Phytoseiidae family are the most important and studied. The phytophagous mites Brevipalpus phoenicis (Geijskes, 1939) (Tenuipalpidae) and Oligonychus ilicis (McGregor, 1917) (Tetranychidae), on coffee trees (Coffea spp.), are frequently found in combination with the predaceous mites Iphiseiodes zuluagai Denmark & Muma, 1972, Amblyseius herbicolus (Chant, 1959) and Euseius citrifolius Denmark & Muma, 1970, among others. The purpose of this research was to study the effects of the insecticide rynaxypyr (chlorantraniliprole 200 SC) on these three species of Phytoseiidae, relevant to coffee and citrus, following standard laboratory procedures. Mated female mites were exposed to fresh-dried residues on a glass surface, with 7 treatments, 5 mites per glass plate and 6 replicates, in a completely randomized experimental design. Each test lasted 8 days, with a daily count of the surviving females and of eggs laid. Rynaxypyr, in all tested concentrations (15, 30, 50, 100 and 500 mg a.i./liter of water), was selective for the studied species, A. herbicolus, I. zuluagai, and E. citrifolius. Overall the treatments resulted in low mortality rates and negligible impact on the reproduction. Therefore, based on IOBC standards, rynaxypyr can be classified as not harmful (Class 1), comparable to the agrochemical hexythiazox equivalent to a harmless standard of selectivity in the laboratory. Rynaxypyr is therefore a complement to programs of integrated pest management, to preserve the populations of predatory mites in crops of coffee and citrus, among others, in Brazil.
Spatial distribution of the coffee-leaf-miner (Leucoptera coffeella (Guérin-Mèneville & Perrottet, 1842)) in an organic coffee (Coffea arabica L.) field in formation

Coffee production has been one of the economy pillars of many tropical countries. Unfortunately, this crop is susceptible to infestation by the coffee-leaf-miner (Leucoptera coffeella (Guérin-Mèneville & Perrottet, 1842)) which causes severe damage to coffee plantations with losses that may reach 80% of the total production. In recent years, researchers have been trying to develop practices for minimizing the use of pesticides in the coffee-leaf-miner control. It is well known that the understanding of the spatial distribution of insects may be important in the context of biological control of pests. The aim of this work is to use spatial statistical methods for characterizing the spatial distribution of the coffee-leaf-miner in a plantation of organic coffee (Coffea arabica L.). This work uses the number of mined leaves taken from a grid of 35 sampling locations from one hectare of an organic plantation of coffee in the second year of its implantation during the annual peak population (September 2006) of the coffee-leaf-miner. A geostatistical method (semivariogram) was used to characterize the spatial variability of the coffee-leaf-miner in an organic coffee field in formation. The results showed that the coffee-leaf-miner population was randomly distributed in the field during the annual peak population.
