Waste management in universities should be a priority attitude, specially because the great diversity and types of waste generated. Also, the University, and suitably treating their waste, respecting person, public money and the environment, there is an imminent need for alternative technologies and to reduces and reuse the most types of residues generated. In this sense, the objective of…
The degradation of Brazilian biomes has threatened biodiversity conservation and the generation of ecosystem services. One way to minimize this process is through forest restoration. However, although the leaf-cutting ants participate in important ecological processes, their high density can compromise the balance of an area under restoration. Therefore, we evaluated the hypothesis that e…
We know that the main form of the leaf-cutting ant control (Atta and Acromyrmex genera) is by means of granulated baits a based in sulfluramid. However, this is a method that can lead to environmental and health problems. The biological control with entomopathogenic fungi can be an effective, safe and ecologically sustainable alternative. However, due to the difficulty in development an e…
The leaf-cutter ants comprise the genera Atta (saúvas) e Acromyrmex (quenquéns) and have a mutualistic relationship with fungi of genus Leucoagaricus. They are constantly cited in the literature for causing considerable damages to several economic importance crops, requiring their control. Agricultural producers have related the use of molybdenum to reduce the damage caused by insect-pest…
