The mission of the Center for Excellence in Biological Control (Fapesp-Koppert) is to develop research projects, products and technologies that result in the use and strengthening of biological pest control for sustainable agriculture in Brazil. This proposal envisages the creation of an international-level research center, focusing on the development of innovations and the dissemination …
The red palm mite, Raoiella indica (Hirst, 1924) originates from the Asian continent, but has already colonized the Middle East, North of Africa, the entire Caribbean, and countries in North, Central and South America, including Brazil. The mite has become one of the main pests of coconut (Cocos nucifera) in the Americas, reducing production by up to 90%, and causing aesthetic damage to t…
Outbreaks of many arthropod pests are not uniformly distributed within fields, and the timing of pest outbreaks is also unpredictable. Moreover, effective pest management relies heavily on early-detection, allowing the growers to make decisions before pests are well-established and crop losses amount. Crop monitoring procedures, to detect emerging pest outbreaks, are time-consuming, pract…
The Brazilian citrus industry accounts for one third of the world orange production, with São Paulo State detaining 80% of the overall national yield. Plant diseases, native and exotic pests have been threatening Brazilian orchards, placing in risk the yield of our orchards and competitiveness of our citrus produce at the international market. The greening-causing bacterium Candidatus Lib…
In Brazil, pest, disease and weed control in cotton crops is commonly carried outthrough the application of chemical phytosanitary products. In this context, production faceschallenges such as pests, weeds and diseases, especially the boll weevil, Anthonomus grandisBoheman, 1843 (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), which represents up to 10% of the totalproduction cost and is mainly controlled by…
One of the biggest limiting factors for the development and production of soybean is the interference of diseases, weeds, and pests. The use of chemicals is still the most widely used method by growers to contain the infestations. Pesticides cause several important harmful effects, especially the damage to biological control agents. Mites are the most diverse arthropod group, and can be a…
The Brazilian soybean production system has faced systematic and high economic losses due to the attack of pests. An effective Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program relies heavily on early detection of pest outbreaks, allowing farmers to make decisions before the infestations are well established, in order to restrict the increase in yield losses. However, traditional sampling methods …
One of the bases for implementing Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs is the determination of pest population levels in the field, for later making decisions about controlling such pests, based on known action thresholds. However, pest control in Brazilian soybean fields has not been done based on IPM precepts, but instead, based on "calendar" spraying, which harms the ecosystem's b…
