The combination of pesticides in the spray tank is primarily aimed at reducing costs in agricultural activity. However, they may trigger reactions that lead to a reduction in the efficiency of pesticides, as observed in the management of the Brevipalpus yothersi citrus leprosis mite when exposed to the combination of acaricide and insecticide. Therefore, the objective of the project will …
Environmental contamination caused by the increasing use and sometimes indiscriminate use of pesticides has generated concerns about the inappropriate release of these compounds into the environment. Bioindicator techniques have been used to demonstrate the presence and the possible environmental effects of these chemicals. The objective of this proposal is to evaluate the acute toxicity …
Brevipalpus yothersi Baker (1949) (Acari: Tenuipalpidae) is one of the most mite species known to cause indirect damages in citrus. The importance of this mite is related to the ability to transmit the virus Citrus leprosis virus, which causes the disease known as citrus leprosis. Since 2004, after the reported Huanglongbing (HLB) disease in Brazil, the frequency of insecticides spraying…
