Foraging behavior of leaf-cutting ants Atta sexdens piriventris Santschi, 1919,...
Giesel, Alexandre; Boff, Mari Inês Carissimi; Fernandes, Patricia; Boff, PedroIn the Microregion of Campos de Lages, Santa Catarina, the edaphoclimate conditions, associated with the typical vegetation of this region may particularize the foraging behavior of leaf-cutting ants Atta sexdens piriventris, unlike those already reported for other locations. This work aimed to study the bio-ecology of foraging A. sexdens piriventris naturally occurring in the Microregion of Campos de Lages. T...
Ant nesting ecology of leaf-cutter ants in altitude natural fields, southern Br...
Giesel, Alexandre; Boff, Pedro; Boff, Mari Inês Carissimi; Fernandes, PatriciaThis work aimed to study the ecological aspects of the nesting process carried out by Atta and Acromyrmex leaf-cutter ants in the Campos de Lages Microregion, Brazil. In each municipality 4 equidistant observation sites were established, each point representing an anthill, for a total of 72 anthills. All cutter anthill’s sampled were georeferenced and measured in relation to their surface. Soil samples were col...
Attractiveness of commercial food baits to adult fruit flies in apple orchards
Teixeira, Rosangela; Ribeiro, Luiz Gonzaga; Boff, Mari Inês Carissimi; Boff, Pedro; Zanardi, Odimar ZanuzoThe apple plant (Malus domestica Borkh.) is the most cultivated species of temperate climate in the State of Santa Catarina, Brazil. Among the pests, fruit flies stand out as the major problem. The monitoring of fruitflies populations helps the farmer to determine the right moment for fruit treatments. The objective of this research was to evaluate the efficiency and costs of commercial baits to monitor fruit f...

Willow morphogenesis treated with homeopathic and phytoterapic preparations
Casa, Jamille; Boff, Mari Inês Carissimi; Rech, Tássio Dresch; Boff, PedroControl measures of pest and diseases in willow crops need to be environmental friendly becausethey are located nearby rivers. In this way homeopathic and phytotherapic preparations are such suitable crop protection measures. Two experiments were carried out at EpagriI/Experiment Station of Lages in order to assess the effect of homeopathic and phytotherapic preparations on morphogenesis and biomass accumulatio...
