• Abstract

  This proposal aims to search for new codifying genes of crystal protein active on insects of the lepidoptera, diptera and coleoptera orders as well as representatives of the nematode order, which are agents considered pests of the principal cultivations of economic importance today. Initially molecular Biology techniques will be employed involving the use of molecular markers for the deve…

• Abstract

  The emergence of technologies for crop pest control are periodically evolving to adopt more recently effective means of control. The aim of this study is to evaluate isolates of Bacillus thuringiensis for the control of Spodoptera frugiperda (JE Smith, 1797), Diatraea saccharalis (Fabr., 1794) and Agrotis ipsilon (Huf., 1976) in some bioassays that will be performed at the Laboratório de …

  Susceptibility analysis of Bacillus thuringiensis isolates aiming to control Spodoptera frugiperda, Diatraea saccharalis and Agrotis ipsilon, BP.IC

• Abstract

  Sugarcane is one of the most important crop in Brazil, specially to ethanol´s production. Brazil is the biggest grower of sugarcane, which increase the insect pests attack. The most notably pest is the sugar cane borer, Diatraea saccharalis. This is a holometabolic insect that causes damages direct and indirect to the sugarcane crop. The control is basically done with chemical insecticid…

  Interaction of Cry1Aa, Cry1Ac and Cry1Ca proteins from Bacillus thuringiensis on Diatraea saccharalis (Fabr., 1794), BP.IC

• Abstract

  The prophylactic control of dengue fever, viral illness transmitted by the Aedes aegypti mosquito, is made by the combat to the vector, mainly through the massive use of synthetic chemicals combat adults and larvae. This fact has led to the emergence of resistant mosquito populations, and may be toxic to other animals and the environment. Thus, we study alternatives to viable disease cont…
