In the state of São Paulo, more than 400 plant species are cultivated in greenhouses. Most commercial greenhouses have pest problems, particularly with whiteflies and leafminers flies. These two pests are among those whose management is limited due to the selection of resistant populations, combined with the biotic potential of these insects. There has been an increase in interest by prod…
Instituto Biológico (IB) is a research center coordinated by the São Paulo Agribusiness Technology Agency (APTA), the Secretariat of Agriculture and Supply of the State of São Paulo (SAA) and its mission is to "Develop and transfer scientific and technological knowledge for the agricultural business in the areas of animal and plant health, its relations with the environment, aiming at imp…
Dr. Christer Hansson, from Lund University, Sweden, has a large experience on the taxonomy of Eulophidae (Hymenoptera) and has been working during the last ten years on Eulophidae of the tropical America, mainly Central America. His activities include the description of 534 species and 20 genera new for the Science. In this project, the proposed activities are to classify and to identify …
The Brazilian Atlantic Forest is considered a hotspot by the International Conservation. The remains of the forest, less than 9 % of the original one, are highly threatened by human activity and consist of a global treasure of immeasurable biodiversity value. By the other side, Eulophidae is one of the largest families among the Chalcidoidea, comprised of 297 genera and ca. 4470 species, …
Neorileya Ashmead (Hymenoptera: Eurytomidae) is a group of parasitic wasps with six described species, all from the American Continent. As far as it is known, they use as hosts eggs mainly of bugs belonging to the families Coreidae, Pentatomidae, and Reduviidae (Hemiptera); some of these bugs are serious pests of several crops of economic importance, such as rice and soybean. In Brazil, t…
Pentatomidae (Hemiptera) are serious pests of several crops of great importance, like soybean and rice. The biological control of these pests with egg parasitoids is a viable alternative; there is even a well-stablished biological control program of soybean bugs in south Brazil, using Trissolcus basalis and Telenomus podisi (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae). However, different parasitoid species…
