Universidade de Franca (UNIFRAN). Pró-Reitoria Adjunta de Pesquisa e Pós-Graduação (Institutional affiliation from the last research proposal) Birthplace: Brazil
She holds a Bachelor's degree in Biological Sciences from the Faculty of Philosophy, Sciences and Letters of Penápolis (2002), a Bachelor's degree in Agronomic Engineering from the University of Franca (2021), a Master's degree in Agronomy (Agricultural Entomology) from São Paulo State University "Júlio de Mesquita Filho" (UNESP) (2006), and a Ph.D. in Agronomy (Agricultural Entomology) from the same institution (2009). She completed postdoctoral research supported by FAPESP at São Paulo State University (grant 2013/25677-3) and at the University of California through the BEPE program (grant 2016/10084-5). She is currently a faculty member at the University of Franca (Unifran), where she teaches in the undergraduate Agronomic Engineering program and in the graduate programs in Animal Science and Sciences. She is also a collaborating professor in the Graduate Program in Agronomy (Agricultural Entomology) at FCAV-UNESP. Her research expertise lies in Agronomy, with an emphasis on Agricultural Entomology, focusing primarily on biological control, integrated pest management, and environmental impact. She is a Level C research productivity fellow of CNPq. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

The coffee crop has great economic importance for Brazil, which is the first producer and second consumer of coffee in the world, accounting for 32% of the world market. Studies have shown that organic and shade-grown coffee systems have great advantages in terms of beverage quality, productivity, and the environment. In order to support future biological control programs that use Chrysop…
Lacewings from the genus Chrysoperla (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae) are recognized as essential and widely utilized natural enemies in the biological control of agricultural pests. In Brazil, Chrysoperla externa has been incorporated into augmentative biological control programs since late 2021. Currently, approximately 840,000 hectares are treated annually using this predator, with coffee (Co…
Green lacewings of the genus Chrysoperla (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae) are among the most important and widely used natural enemies in the biological control of agricultural pests. In Brazil, the species Chrysoperla externa (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae) has been utilized in augmentative biological control programs since late 2021. Currently, approximately 840,000 hectares are treated annually wit…
The objective of this study will be to evaluate the insecticidal activity of extracts obtained from bark, flowers, leaves, fruits and seeds of Handroanthus impetiginosus on citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri (Hemiptera: Psylloidea: Liviidae). The extracts will be obtained from the bark, flowers, leaves, fruits and seeds, using a process of cold maceration of plant parts, spraying, filtratio…
Although chemical control is still the predominant strategy for pest control, the use of sustainable control tactics has been growing as a key strategy for reducing environmental impact and safe food production. However, such strategies are still little explored in the agricultural, such as intensive coffee crops. Thus, the use of botanical insecticides, such as orange and neem oils, whic…
Although chemical control is still the predominant strategy for pest control, biological has been growing as a key strategy for sustainable exploitation, but still little explored in the agricultural space, such as intensive coffee crops. Thus, the biological control applied with the use of entomopathogenic agents, such as the fungus Cordyceps fumosorosea (Wize), which has insecticidal ac…

Currently there are about 40 bio-factories rearing Cotesia flavipes in different Brazilian states, with no exchange of insects. All bio-factories obtained the parasitoids to start the rearing of individuals that were originally introduced from Trinindad and Tobago in 1974. Over the years the number of bio-factories rearing C. flavipes in Brazil increased to 40, but many of these bio-facto…
