• Abstract

  The ecological imbalance inherent in the use of extensive areas with monocultures implies the demand for large amounts of pesticides. Among phytochemicals, fungicides stand out, as their recurrent use has led to the selection of resistant phytopathogenic fungi. Thus, larger doses of fungicides currently commercialized are used in the field, until products with new active ingredients are m…

  Metabolism, gene expression and performance of honey bees and silkworms well and poorly nourished and contaminated with a triple action fungicide, AP.R

• Abstract

  Coccon production by silkworm (Bombyx mori) is highly influenced for the quantity and quality of mulberry leaves (Morus spp.) offered to the caterpillars. However, the amount of leaves produced by each plant is inversely proporcional to its nutritrional quality. Therefore, it is preconized that mulberry branches must be offered to the caterpillars 90 days after the last cutting of the bra…

  Use of strobilurin in mulberry crop to improve silkworm coccon production, AP.R

• Abstract

  Sericulture is an important agro-industrial activity in Brazil, which is the fourth largest producer of green cocoons and silk thread. Silk quality can be related with mulberry (Morus spp.) growing conditions, such as weather, cultivation spacing, water availability for plants, soil types, branch pruning, leaf growth, among others, including factors unrelated to sericulture. The ecologica…

  Metabolism and performance of silkworms well and poorly nourished and contaminated with a triple action fungicide, BP.IC

• Abstract

  A certain level of dependence on pollinating agents that favor seed and fruit production is inherent in most agricultural crops. However, some farmers have adopted alternative methods to entomophilous pollination, which can be less interesting from an economic, social and environmental point of view. The aim of the present work is to verify whether the controlled pollination with honeybee…

  Pollination of Italzucchini (Cucurbita pepo L.) in greenhouse by honey bees kept in hives with two entrances, BP.IC

• Abstract

  Africanized honey bees are effective pollinators of many crops, but the management of these insects in greenhouse must be improved, since the confinement generally implies on population decline of the hive submitted to this stress situation. The present work aims to verify whether the use of hives with two entrances allows the mitigation of the harmful effects to the development of hives …
