The tarsonemid Polyphagotarsonemus latus (Banks), an obligatorily phytophage, is a leading pest of the oilseed crop Jatropha curcas L. (physic nut), potentially reducing its yield. We explored interaction between P. latus and winged insects associated with J. curcas, particularly the whitefly (Bemisia tabaci [Gennadius, 1889]), considering the site of P. latus adherence, the sex of adhered individuals, and the P. latus:B. tabaci ratio in relation to the annual rainy and dry seasons. No B. tabaci individuals or evidence of P. latus phoresy was observed in sticky traps sampled on a weekly basis, nor was there evidence of P. latus dispersal by wind. However, weekly mouth aspiration samples of B. tabaci from pinion plants verified the phoretic association of P. latus and B. tabaci. Both the mite and whitefly populations showed seasonal fluctuations and decreased significantly with the fall of J. curcas leaves at the beginning of the annual drought. All phoretic P. latus individuals were adult females found adhered to the legs of B. tabaci. We concluded that P. latus is affected by the population dynamics of B. tabaci and that the phoretic association of this mite with whitefly is significant for its dispersion in commercial J. curcas plantations and should be taken into consideration when developing mite management strategies.

Bio-insecticides have been increasingly used worldwide as ecofriendly alternatives to pesticides, but data on their effects in non-target freshwater organisms is still scarce and limited to insects. The aim of this study was to determine the lethal and sub-lethal effects of the bio-insecticides Bac Control (based on Bacillus thuringiensis kurstaki - Btk) and Boveril (based on Beauveria bassiana - Bb) on regeneration, behavioral and reproductive endpoints of the freshwater planarian Girardia tigrina. The estimated LC50 − 48h were > 800 mg a.i./L for Btk and 60.74 mg a.i./L for Bb. In addition, exposure to Btk significantly decreased locomotion and feeding activities of planarians (lowest observed effect concentration (LOEC) of 12.5 mg a.i./L Btk) and fecundity rate (LOEC = 3.12 mg a.i./L Btk), whereas exposure to Bb significantly delayed regeneration (LOEC = 0.75 mg a.i./L Bb) and decreased fecundity rate (1.5 mg a.i./L Bb) of planarians. Thus, both bio-insecticides induced deleterious sub-lethal effects on a non-insect freshwater invertebrate species. However, only Bb-based formulation affected the survival, fecundity rate and regeneration at concentrations below the maximum predicted environmental concentration (PEC = 247 mg/L). Thus, care should be taken when using such formulations as alternatives to chemical insecticides near aquatic ecosystems.

Soybean (Glycine max) is the world's most cultivated legume. In recent years, the thrips Caliothrips phaseoli and Frankliniella schultzei (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) have caused >15% yield reduction in soybean crops. Conventional sampling plans serve as the starting point for the establishment of decision-making systems for integrated pest management (IPM) programs. These plans establish the sampling methodology, the number of samples, and the time and cost required. They must be simple, representative, accurate, fast, inexpensive, and suitable for different field sizes and plant growth stages. The objective of this research was to determine a conventional sampling plan to facilitate IPM of thrips in soybean crops. For this purpose, a 2-year study in 29 commercial soybean fields was performed to determined the best sampling technique, the optimal number of samples, and the time and cost requirements for fields of different sizes. Our sampling plan can be used for fields of different sizes, plants of different growth stages, and thrips infestations of different densities. It involves beating the apical part of 40 soybean plants per field on a white plastic tray. The time and cost of sampling ranged from 21 min and US $0.78 (1-ha fields) to 129 min and US $4.78 (100-ha fields). This sampling plan is feasible for incorporation into IPM programs because it is representative, accurate, fast, and inexpensive.

The degradation of dyes can generate harmful by-products, thereby requiring the need to evaluate the toxicity to aquatic organisms. This study aims to evaluate the chronic ecotoxicity of methylene blue dye degraded by the Fenton process using the non-target planarian Girardia tigrina as a sensitive bioindicator of environmental contamination. The bioassays evaluated the lethality of several concentrations of the untreated and degraded dye methylene blue (MB), as well as, their sub-lethal effects on locomotion, feeding, regeneration, and reproduction. In both acute and chronic tests, the degraded dye had a stronger toxic effect when compared to the untreated dye. This negative effect after treatment was mainly associated with the presence of residual hydrogen peroxide and iron (and consequently the hydroxyl radical formed). We conclude that the utilization of the Fenton process using less oxidizing agents should be considered as important alternatives for the protection of aquatic ecosystems, without compromising the efficient removal of MB.

The present study aims to use behavioral responses of the freshwater planarian Girardia tigrina to assess the impact of anthropogenic activities on the aquatic ecosystem of the watershed Araguaia-Tocantins (Tocantins, Brazil). Behavioral responses are integrative and cumulative tools that reflect changes in energy allocation in organisms. Thus, feeding rate and locomotion velocity (pLMV) were determined to assess the effects induced by the laboratory exposure of adult planarians to water samples collected in the region of Tocantins-Araguaia, identifying the sampling points affected by contaminants. Furthermore, physicochemical and microbiological parameters, as well as the presence of inorganic compounds (dissolved aluminum, total barium, total chloride, dissolved iron, total fluoride, total manganese, nitrates, nitric nitrogen, total sulfate, total zinc) and surfactants, were determined on each specific sampling point. The behavioral biomarkers (feeding rate and pLMV) of the freshwater planarians were significantly decreased when organisms were exposed to water samples from four municipalities (Formoso do Araguaia, Lagoa da Confusão, Gurupi and Porto Nacional), sites of the Tocantins-Araguaia hydrographic region—TAHR. Both behavioral biomarkers decreased up to ~37–39% compared to organisms in ASTM medium only. Our results showed that these behavioral biomarkers can be used for fast screening monitoring of environmental samples of freshwater ecosystems, since a decrease in feeding rate and locomotor activity was observed in sites impacted by anthropogenic activities. However, the absence of effects observed in some sampling points does not represent the absence of contamination, since several other classes of contaminants were not determined. In these negative results, the absence of deleterious effects on behavioral biomarkers might only be indicative that the potential presence of contaminants on such sites does not significantly affect the performance of planarians. This fast screening approach seems to be useful to determine contaminated sites in freshwater ecosystems for biomonitoring purposes. This knowledge will help to develop biomonitoring programs and to decide appropriate sampling sites and analysis.

Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) has significant socioeconomic relevance in Brazil and other developing countries, as one of the main sources of carbohydrates for human and animal consumption (De Oliviera et al., 2011). Among the cassava crop diseases, anthracnose is one of the main limiting factors for production and may be caused by species like Colletotrichum plurivorum, C. karstii, C. fructicola, and C. siamense (Bragança et al., 2016; Liu et al., 2019; Oliveira et al., 2016; Sangpueak; Phansak; Buensanteai, 2018). Severity in the field is variable, depending on the resistance of the variety used and is also highly influenced by the climate, being the most severe disease under high humidity and high temperature. Under these conditions, it can cause losses of up to 100%. In 2019, cassava leaves presenting dark brown necrotic injuries of different sizes and irregular borders—typical anthracnose symptoms— were collected from commercial plantations in the states of Pará and Tocantins, Brazil. Symptomatic tissue fragments were superficially disinfected, placed in plates with potato dextrose agar (PDA), and incubated under 25 ± 2 °C for seven days. In the 56 isolates used in the morphological identification, the colonies were white and gray at the top and dark gray in the bottom with sector formation. The conidia were hyaline, cylindrical, and aseptic, 10.04 to 17.83 μm long × 3.29 to 5.75 μm wide. These phenotypical characteristics were similar to those of C. gloeosporioides lato sensu species (Weir et al., 2012). Genomic DNA was extracted from two representative isolates (UFT/Coll69, collected in the municipality of Casa de Tábua-PA; UFT/Coll82, collected in Pau Darco-PA) and the APN2 / MAT-IGS, DNA lyase (Apn2), and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase-IGS (GAP2-IG) intergenic spacers were amplified and sequenced. The nucleotide sequences were deposited in the GenBank (accession numbers: MT409462, MT396231, MT759633, MT396239, MT396232, MT800846). The BLASTn (Basic Local Alignment Search Tool) showed a 99 to 100% similarity with Colletotrichum chrysophillum. The maximum likelihood phylogenetic analysis grouped the isolates in the C. chrysophillum clade, with a high bootstrap value (98%). Based on morphocultural characteristics and the phylogenetic analysis, the isolates associated with M. esculenta anthracnose were identified as C. chrysophillum, with a frequency of 6.67% among Colletotrichum colonies isolated from cassava leaves. The inoculation of three isolates was carried out in three plants, three leaves for each plant, by spraying spore solution with a concentration of 1×106 conidia / ml, without wounding the leaves and placed in a humid chamber at 25 ° C for ten days. Control plants were inoculated with sterile distilled water. From the 2nd day after inoculation, small irregular necrotic lesions appeared that increased in size over time, while control plants remained asymptomatic. Both were pathogenic and the symptoms caused after inoculation were similar to each other and to those observed in the field. In Brazil, anthracnose by C. chrysophillum was reported in cashew (Veloso et al., 2018) and banana trees (Vieira et al., 2017). To our knowledge, this is the first report of cassava anthracnose disease by C. chrysophillum.

Oligonychus punicae (Hirst) (Trombidiformes: Tetranychidae) is a common pest in Mexican avocado orchards. Neoseiulus californicus (McGregor) (Mesostigmata: Phytoseiidae) is frequently found associated with avocado orchards in Mexico and may be an important aid for controlling O. punicae. Given the lack of information in the scientific literature, this study evaluated the predation and oviposition of N. californicus when fed O. punicae at different developmental stages in a no-choice experiment. We also assessed fluctuations in the population size of O. punicae and N. californicus in commercial avocado orchards; correlations among mite density and air temperature, humidity, and precipitation in commercial avocado orchards; and the correlations between prey and predator populations. The no-choice test revealed that N. californicus adult females fed on O. punicae of all developmental stages, with higher levels of predation being recorded for eggs, followed by larvae. The highest oviposition values of N. californicus females were observed when females were fed O. punicae eggs. In orchards, the populations of both mites increased between February and June. The populations peaked during the warmest months of the year, with O. punicae populations peaking between June and July and N. californicus peaking in August. In addition, the population size of N. californicus was significantly and positively correlated with rainfall, air temperature, and the population densities of O. punicae. Meanwhile, O. punicae population size was positively correlated with air temperature, and the population of its predator N. californicus.

Amblydromalus zannoui Sourassou, Sarmento and Moraes is a phytoseiid mite of the limonicus group described from central Brazil from leaves of physic nut, Jatropha curcas L. (Malpighiales: Euphorbiaceae), a plant potentially useful as a source of biofuel. This plant is often attacked by the mites Polyphagotarsonemus latus (Banks) (Prostigmata: Tarsonemidae) and Tetranychus bastosi Tuttle, Baker and Sales (Prostigmata: Tetranychidae). The objectives of this work were to evaluate the predation rate of A. zannoui on those phytophagous mites, to assess its life cycle on these prey and on pollen of Ricinus communis L. (Euphorbiaceae), and to determine its attraction to physic nut leaves infested by P. latus or T. bastosi. Amblydromalus zannoui attacked more nymphs and adults than eggs of P. latus, and more eggs and larvae than adults of T. bastosi. The life table parameters suggest that A. zannoui performs better on P. latus (rm: 0.20, Ro: 18.77; λ: 1.23) and pollen (rm: 0.18, Ro: 23.32, λ: 1.18). The predator seems to be attracted to plants with P. latus, but attraction was not clear cut for plants with T. bastosi. The results suggested that A. zannoui is a potential control agent to be used against P. latus on physic nut plants, and that R. communis pollen can be used as supplementary food to maintain the predator population in the absence of prey.

BACKGROUND The significance of morphological responses of hosts on susceptibility against gall‐inducing insects are relatively unknown specially in planted forests. Here, we investigate the temporal morphological responses (gall development) induced by the invasive gall wasp Leptocybe invasa and the subsequent insect development in two Eucalyptus clones. RESULTS Our results identified a novel stage of gall development, not previously reported, termed here “brownish ring.” In both hosts similar gall development stages were observed. Although L. invasa oviposited in both clones, comparison of external morphological traits of galls over time revealed a differential response in the number of galls between clones. Comparison of the developmental time of each gall and insect stage between clones suggests that plant defense mechanisms against L. invasa are activated shortly after oviposition by the wasp, yet before gall formation. CONCLUSION Gall number is an important parameter that should be used to measure host susceptibility among Eucalyptus clones. To our best knowledge, this is the first study showing differential morphological responses induced by a galling insect, even before gall formation, revealing differences in susceptibility between different plant hosts. These findings provide insight into to use of early stages of galls formation by L. invasa to prevent invasion and establishment of this pest.

Frankliniella schultzei (Trybom) is a serious pest of melon crops and is commonly found in the main producing areas of melon in Brazil (North and Northeast regions). This pest causes significant losses, damaging plants through feeding and tospovirus vectoring. Thus, the proper management of F. schultzei is crucial to prevent economic losses, and knowledge of the within-field distribution patterns of F. schultzei can be used to improve this pest management. This study aimed to determine the within-field distribution (through semivariogram modeling and kriging interpolation) and the factors associated with F. schultzei abundance in open-field yellow melon crops. We surveyed four yellow melon fields located in Formoso do Araguaia (Tocantins state, North Brazil) for thrips abundance in various crop stages (vegetative, flowering, and fruiting) in 2015 and 2016. Twelve models were fitted and it was determined that F. schultzei counts were strongly aggregated. The median spatial dependence was 4.79 m (range 3.55 to 8.02 m). The surface maps generated by kriging depicted an edge effect in fields 3 and 4. In addition, correlation analyses indicated that air temperature and presence of surrounding cucurbits are positively associated with F. schultzei abundance in yellow melon fields. Altogether, these insights can be combined for spatially based pest management, especially when the conditions (cucurbits in the surroundings and warmer periods) are favorable to F. schultzei.

Microbial insecticides are being used as ecologically-friendly alternatives to traditional insecticides. However, their effects have been poorly investigated on non-target freshwater species, with exception of a few insect species. Moreover, combined effects of microbial insecticides with other environmental stressors, such as salinity, have never been investigated. Thus, our goal was to assess the effects of Bac-Control® (based in Bacillus thuringiensis - Btk) and Boveril® (based in Beauveria bassiana - Bb) with increasing salinities (NaCl) on freshwater planarian Girardia tigrina. It has been reported that increased salinity levels affect freshwater organisms compromising their survival by triggering adaptation processes to cope with osmotic stress. Our results showed delayed regeneration, decreased locomotion and feeding on planarians exposed to NaCl, whereas their sexual reproduction was not affected. Both microbial insecticides impaired feeding, locomotor activity, regeneration, and sexual reproduction of planarians. Planarians exposed to microbial insecticides compromised their progeny. Therefore, microbial insecticides might not be ecologically friendly alternatives to chemical insecticides. Interestingly, harmful effects of microbial insecticides with increasing salinities showed an inadequate response of planarians to cope with induction of their immune response and osmoregulation.

Recent studies on Fenton-type processes involving peracetic acid (PAA) stimulated further development of advanced oxidative processes (AOPs). The objective of this work was to provide new information about such processes, elucidate their reaction mechanisms both experimentally and theoretically, and verify their possible uses. The Fenton-type reaction of PAA with Fe3+ exhibited a greater dye degradation efficiency than the Fenton process, while the efficiency of the PAA reaction with Fe2+ was very close of Fenton process. Moreover, the processes photocatalyzed by solar radiation demonstrated comparable efficiencies due to the photoreduction of Fe3+ to Fe2+. By conducting theoretical calculations, it was found that the formation of oxidizing radicals during the reaction of PAA with Fe2+ was not thermodynamically favorable and, therefore, unsuitable for practical use. In contrast, the processes occurred in the PAA/Fe3+ system included thermodynamically spontaneous reactions that generated peroxyl (CH3C(O)OO•), alkoxyl (CH3C(O)•), and hydroperoxyl (HO2•) radicals. The ecotoxicological tests demonstrated that the toxicity of the PAA to the organism Dugesia tigrina can be attributed to the presence of H2O2.

The aim of the study was to test the effects of various concentrations of zinc sulfate (ZnSO4) on the radial growth of Trichoderma harzianum and Leucoagaricus gongylophorus in Petri dishes. In addition, we investigated the acceptance of baits containing live propagules of the encapsulated T. harzianum fungus and baits containing ZnSO4 by foraging leafcutter worker ants, A. sexdens, as well as their effects on the colonies of these ants. For the in vitro test, the design was completely randomized using ten replicates of a 2 × 7 factorial scheme: two species of fungi (T. harzianum and L. gongylophorus) and seven concentrations of ZnSO4. For bait acceptance tests, four treatments were used: baits without the mycelium and ZnSO4 (T1, control), baits containing encapsulated T. harzianum mycelium (T2), baits containing ZnSO4 (T3), and baits containing zinc sulfate and the encapsulated T. harzianum (T4). Each treatment was tested in duplicates using eight colonies. In the in vitro test, a ZnSO4 concentration of 0.25 g/L was sufficient to completely inhibit the development of L. gongylophorus without affecting the development of T. harzianum. In the bait acceptance test, the workers accepted ~55% of the bait combination of ZnSO4 and T. harzianum. This suggests the potential of treatment T4 in controlling leafcutter ants. Moreover, treatment T4 is environmentally friendly.

The Brazilian Cerrado biome has undergone major changes, with the incorporation of new areas for agricultural production. While this can certainly provide for the worldwide growing need for agricultural products, especially food, care should be taken to prevent possible environmental degradation. Worldwide, mites of the cohort Gamasina constitute the most abundant and diverse group of soil predatory mites, usually considered important in maintaining the ecological balance of natural environments. Little is known about the abundance and diversity of Gamasina in the Cerrado. The objective of the present work was to evaluate the abundance and diversity of Gamasina in soils of natural vegetation and of agroecosystems in Cerrado areas of the northern Brazilian state of Tocantins. This is considered the first step in the determination of possible role of the local predators as biological control agents, and their potential for practical use locally and elsewhere. Soil samples were taken monthly between July 2015 and June 2016. In total, 1373 Gamasina representing 45 species of 24 genera and 9 families were collected. The most abundant Gamasina belonged to Rhodacaridae in areas of the natural vegetation and to Ascidae in the agroecosystems. Abundance and diversity were much higher in the rainy than in the dry season. Rhodacarids and ascids have not been used commercially for pest control, but investigations conducted so far suggest their potential as biological control agents. The confirmation of this possibility and the development of techniques that would allow their maintenance in agricultural areas require subsequent research efforts.

The common blossom thrips, Frankliniella schultzei (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) (Trybom, 1810), is an important pest of melons (Cucumis melo). This species is found on all continents, but especially in tropical and subtropical regions. Decision-making systems are essential parts of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs. Sampling plans and decision-making indices are two critical components for an effective and successful IPM program. Sequential sampling plans have a variable number of samples as a function of pest density. Economic Injury Level (EIL) is the most commonly used decision-making index in IPM programs. Despite the importance of the impact of Frankliniella schultzei on Cucumis melo, economic injury levels and sequential sampling plans for this pest have not yet been determined. Thus, this study aimed to determine the control decision-making system for F. schultzei. To this end, research was conducted over two years in 39 commercial melon fields. The EIL was calculated based on control costs and melon production value as a function of F. schultzei density. The sequential sampling plan was developed based on the binomial sequential probability ratio test. Attack up to 9 thrips. sample−1 reduced the yield of melon fields by 46%. The cost of thrips control represented 1.85% of the production value of the melon fields. The EIL for F. schultzei was 0.36 thrips per sample. The sequential sampling plan made correct decisions in 100% of situations and saved more than 85% of sampling time and cost. In conclusion, this decision-making system can be incorporated into melon field IPM programs to help farmers make correct decisions when the monitoring this pest, as well as reduce the costs and sampling times.

Paraquat (PQ) is still used in several countries worldwide as an herbicide for weed control in agricultural production, ponds, reservoirs and irrigation canals. Thus, PQ is frequently found in surface water systems and is potentially toxic to aquatic organisms, since it can cause mitochondrial dysfunction altering in the redox state of cells. This study aimed to investigate the chronic effects of PQ to Chironomus riparius and Girardia tigrina, and compare their physiological strategies to cope with environmental stress. The mean emergence time was the most sensitive endpoint for Chironomids, with the lowest observed effect concentrations (LOEC) being 0.02 for males and 0.1 mg PQ L−1 for females. Moreover, PQ reduced the body weight of male and female imagoes, with LOECs of 0.5 and 2.5 mg PQ L−1, respectively. Paraquat also decreased the respiration rate (LOEC = 2.5 mg PQ L−1) and total glutathione (tGSH) content (LOEC = 0.5 mg PQ L−1). Thus, the aerobic production of energy was not affected and allowed chironomids to cope with oxidative stress induced by PQ, but with consequent physiological costs in terms of development rates and weight of adults. In planarians, PQ decreased the locomotion and feeding activity, and delayed photoreceptor regeneration (LOECs = 2.5 mg PQ L−1 for all endpoints). Despite increased aerobic energy production (LOEC = 0.5 mg PQ L−1), planarians were not able to cope with oxidative stress induced by the highest PQ concentrations, since lipid peroxidation levels were significantly increased (LOEC = 2.5 mg PQ L−1) concomitantly with a significant decrease of tGSH (LOEC = 2.5 mg PQ L−1). These results showed that planarians were unable to cope with oxidative stress induced by PQ with consequent impairments of behavior and regeneration despite an increased aerobic energy production.

Salinization in freshwaters is gradually increasing as a result of human activities and climatic changes. Higher salt content causes stress for freshwater organisms. Sodium chloride (NaCl) is among the most frequently occurring salts in freshwater ecosystems. The objective of the present study was to investigate the lethal and sublethal effects of NaCl on freshwater ecosystems, using as test organism the dipteran Chironomus xanthus and the planarian Girardia tigrina. Acute tests showed that C. xanthus was more sensitive (48-h LC50 (median lethal concentration) of 2.97 g NaCl L−1) than G. tigrina (48-h LC50 of 7.77 g NaCl L−1). C. xanthus larvae growth rate (larvae length and head capsule width) was significantly reduced under exposure to concentrations as low as 0.19 g L−1 NaCl and higher. A delay in the emergence time (EmT50) was also demonstrated for the same concentration. Sublethal NaCl effects in G. tigrina included feeding inhibition (LOEC (lowest observed effect concentration) of 0.4 g L−1), reduced locomotion (LOEC = 0.2 g L−1), and 24–48-h blastema regeneration (LOEC = 0.2 g L−1 and 0.1 g L−1, respectively). The results demonstrated the toxicity of NaCl to C. xanthus and G. tigrina including sublethal effects that can result in negative consequences for populations in natural freshwaters under salinization.

Freshwater ecosystems are vulnerable to residual concentrations of chemical agents from anthropogenic activities, and the real impacts of such compounds can only be evaluated accurately using ecotoxicological tests. The assessment of ecotoxicological effects of peracetic acid (PAA) and the active chlorine of calcium hypochlorite (Ca(ClO)2) on the insect Chironomus xanthus Meigen (Diptera: Chironomidae) is highly relevant as there are few reports on its effects in fresh water ecosystems. To our best knowledge, this is the first study to assess the chronic toxicity of the compounds to C. xanthus. The toxicity bioassays for C. xanthus included the acute effect (CL50) and the chronic effects based on body length, head width, and cumulative emergence. The results obtained in the acute effect tests indicated that the active chlorine of Ca(ClO)2 is 14 fold more toxic than PAA to C. xanthus. In sublethal evaluations, the active chlorine of Ca(ClO)2 presented higher toxicity than PAA in terms of percentage emergence, body development, and head width. In general, the results showed lower PAA toxicity relative to the active chlorine of Ca(ClO)2, demonstrating that PAA is a promising substitute for chlorinated disinfectants. In addition, the study facilitates the establishment of reference values for the safe release of effluents treated with PAA into water bodies.

Intercropping is an important strategy of pest biological control and has the potential of increasing abundance and diversity of natural enemies. Here we assessed the effect of six management crop systems on the diversity and abundance of mite pests and predatory mites associated to physic nut crops. The following crop systems were evaluated: jack beans (Canavalia ensiformis), guinea grass (Panicum maximum), signal grass (Brachiaria brizantha), cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) in succession to corn (Zea mays), physic nut free of spontaneous plants between-rows, and physic nut with spontaneous plants between-rows. Total number of mites was counted and their abundance, diversity and equitability were determined. The most abundant herbivorous mite species found in all crop systems were Polyphagotarsonemus latus and Tetranychus bastosi. Amblydromalus zannoui, Typhlodromus aripo, Typhlodromus peregrinus and Pronematus sp. were the most abundant predatory mites. Intercropping cowpea in succession to corn favoured the diversity and abundance of predatory mites in physic nut.

Common blossom thrips, Frankliniella schultzei (Thysanoptera: Thripidae), is one of the major pests of melon (Cucumis melo L.), causing yield losses of up to 40%. Frankliniella schultzei is widely distributed in the world, especially in tropical and subtropical regions. Sampling plans are one of the pillars of integrated pest management (IPM) programs. Despite the economic importance of F. schultzei, to our best knowledge, this is the first study to establish a standardized sampling plan for this pest in melon fields. Studies were conducted in 23 commercial melon fields during two years to determine the appropriate sampling system (sample unit, method and sampling size). For all plant growth stages (vegetative, flowering and fruiting), the apex (first) leaf of melon branches was the ideal sampling unit, and direct counting of thrips was the most suitable method for F. schultzei monitoring. The sampling size was calculated using the formula described for the negative binomial distribution (the prevailing frequency distribution) and applying error levels of up to 25%. With one sample consisting of counting the number of F. schultzei on the apex leaf of one branch (randomly selected) on one plant at the 20% error, 70 samples were required, providing the best cost-precision relationship. For varying field sizes (1- to 20-ha melon fields), total sampling time ranged from 25 to 59 min, costing USD 0.83 and USD 1.90, respectively. The developed sampling plan is reliable and should be easy to implement in IPM programs in melon fields under varying crop systems (different field sizes and plant stages) in north Brazil.
