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…
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…
