Mathematical modeling and control of population systems: Applications in biological pest control
(Elsevier B.V., 2008-07-01)
The aim of this paper is to apply methods from optimal control theory, and from the theory of dynamic systems to the mathematical modeling of biological pest control. The linear feedback control problem for nonlinear systems ...
The potential of nanobiopesticide based on zein nanoparticles and neem oil for enhanced control of agricultural pests
(2020-03-01)
Nanomaterials composed of natural matrices associated with biopesticides have promising applications in sustainable agriculture. In this study, the biopesticide neem oil was encapsulated in zein nanoparticles in order to ...
Production and Use of Heteroptera Predators for the Biological Control of Eucalyptus Pests in Brazil
(Foundation Environmental Protection & Research-fepr, 2014-01-01)
The Asopinae predators of Eucalyptus spp. (Myrtaceae) pests in Brazil include Brontocoris tabidus, Podisus distinctus, Podisus nigrispinus, and Supputius cincticeps (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae). These insects feed on the ...
Ocorrência de Phoracantha recurva Newman (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) em eucalipto no Estado de São Paulo, Brasil
(2002-12-01)
This paper reports the occurrence of the longhorn beetle Phoracantha recurva Newman (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) attacking Eucalyptus citriodora logs in the State of São Paulo, Brazil. This Australian species was introduced ...
The potential of nanobiopesticide based on zein nanoparticles and neem oil for enhanced control of agricultural pests
(Springer Link, 2020)
Nanomaterials composed of natural matrices associated with biopesticides have promising applications in sustainable agriculture. In this study, the biopesticide neem oil was encapsulated in zein nanoparticles in order to ...
Classical biological control of an invasive forest pest: A world perspective of the management of Sirex noctilio using the parasitoid Ibalia leucospoides (Hymenoptera: Ibaliidae)
(Cambridge University Press, 2015-02)
Classical biological control is a key method for managing populations of pests in long-lived crops such as plantation forestry. The execution of biological control programmes in general, as the evaluation of potential ...
Comparison of eggs, larvae, and pupae of plutella xylostella (lepidoptera: Plutellidae) as prey for podisus nigrispinus (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae)
(2013-03-01)
Understanding the predation on pest insects through controlled feeding on their prey can provide insight into natural methods of pest control. The growth, survival, and development of the predatory stink bug (Podisus ...
Temporal dynamics of diversity in a tropical fruit fly (Tephritidae) ensemble and their implications on pest management and biodiversity conservation
(Springer, 2013-04)
The fact that pests are the most abundant species in agricultural settings has broadly precluded the attention to non-pest species and the study of temporal dynamics of diversity in agroecosystems. Because, agroecosystems ...
