Study of Expression of Indigenous Bt cry2AX1 Gene in T3 Progeny of Cotton and its Efficacy Against Helicoverpa armigera (Hubner)

Abstract Development of transgenic Bt crops with stable and high level of Bt protein expression over generations under different environmental conditions is critical for successful deployment at field level. In the present study, progenies of transgenic cotton Coker310 event, CH12 expressing novel cry2AX...

Isolation of entomopathogenic nematodes in the west region of Santa Catarina, Brazil

Arq. Inst. Biol; 87 (), 2020
Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) are potential candidate for integrated pest management programs. As little is known about the presence of these organisms in the state of Santa Catarina, it was aimed to perform soil sampling in the cities of Chapecó, Palmitos, Seara and Concordia for the isolation of E...

Effect of chemical and biological seed treatments on common bean seeds inoculated with Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. phaseoli

Arq. Inst. Biol; 87 (), 2020
Currently, the common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) productivity has been reduced by the fungus Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. phaseoli (Fop), the causative agent of Fusarium wilt. Considering the integrated management of diseases, the objectives of the present work were to verify the compatibility between che...

Identificación de un aislamiento argentino de Spodoptera frugiperda granulovirus
Identification of an Argentinean isolate of Spodoptera frugiperda granulovirus

Rev. argent. microbiol; 51 (4), 2019
Abstract The fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), is an important maize pest. Due to the environmental impact and emergence of resistance caused by chemical pesticides and transgenic events, the use of baculoviruses becomes a safe and useful alternative for its cont...

Sublethal effect of Abamectin in the functional response of the predator Phytoseiulus persimilis (Athias-Henriot) on Tetranychus urticae (Koch) (Acari: Phytoseiidae, Tetranychidae)

Braz. j. biol; 79 (2), 2019
Abstract The biological control used for the control of Tetranychus urticae (Koch) is the predator mite Phytoseiulus persimilis (Athias-Henriot). It is important to the know the effects of acaricides on the biological behavior the Abamectin on the functional response of P. persimilis. The functional res...

Biochar and Trichoderma harzianum for the Control of Macrophomina phaseolina

Abstract This study is based on the importance of biological control methods and the lack of information on the effect of biochar (BCH) from sewage sludge associated or not with Trichoderma harzianum on the control of Macrophomina phaseolina in the bean crop (Phaseolus vulgaris, cv. BRS Estilo). Biochar ...

Larvicidal and adulticidal effects and ultrastructural changes of larvae midgut epithelium of musca domestica (diptera: muscidae) fed with bacillus thuringiensis var. kyushuensis

Abstract INTRODUCTION: Musca domestica is resistant to many insecticides; hence, biological control is a suitable alternative. METHODS: We evaluated the lethality of strain Btk176 towards the larval and adult M. domestica and the histopathological effects in the larvae midgut. RESULTS: We observed 99%...
