Effect of a formulation of Bacillus thuringiensis Berliner var. kurstaki on Podisus nigrispinus Dallas (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae: Asopinae)

The impact of biocontrol agents on beneficial organisms has been increasingly considered and evaluated worldwide for the growing interest on biodiversity conservation. Bacillus thuringiensis var. kurstaki (Btk) is a biopesticide widely used in Brazil for the control of lepidopteran pests in reforest...

Description
Summary:The impact of biocontrol agents on beneficial organisms has been increasingly considered and evaluated worldwide for the growing interest on biodiversity conservation. Bacillus thuringiensis var. kurstaki (Btk) is a biopesticide widely used in Brazil for the control of lepidopteran pests in reforestation areas. Podisus nigrispinus. Dallas is commonly found in such environments and commonly produced in laboratories for the control of lepidopteran pests. Tests were conducted in a room at 25 plus or minus 2 degree C, 70 plus or minus 10% RH, and 12 h photophase to determine the effects of a formulation of Btk, strain HD-1 (Dipel, concentrated suspension), commercialized by Abbot Laboratory Brasil Ltd., on the biology of P. nigrispinus.
