The order Lepidoptera is the one that has the largest number of insect species considered agricultural pests, whose larval phase can damage all parts of cultivated plants, being responsible for damages in the order of billions of reais to Brazilian agriculture. Evaluations on all traditional methods of monitoring these pests are done manually, a process that requires mobilization of field…
Currently, agricultural insect pests of the order Lepidoptera, family Noctuidae, cause losses in the order of billions of reais the most important agricultural crops of the country. Its monitoring is still done manually by sending technicians to the field for visual inspection or by well-established methods such as the “breathing”. Regardless of the method used, this process can be delaye…
