Acao de inseticidas sobre insetos nocivos e aranhas associados ao cacaueiro na regiao de Ouro Preto d'Oeste, Rondonia, Brasil
The efficiency of various insecticides for the control of chrysomelids, curculionias, caterpillars and more specifically for the species Maecolaspis ornata, Metachroma sp. (Chrysomelidae), Antiteuchus tripterus (Pentatomidae) and Clastoptera ochrospila (Cercopidae) found in mature cacao plantations in Ouro Preto d'Oeste, Rondonia, Brazil was evaluated. The selectivity of the products towards spiders, the predators of phytophagous insects, was also determined. The tested insecticides and their respective doses were endosulfan 35 percent (168 g a.i./ha), thrichlorfon 50 percent (240 g a.i./ha) and malathion 50 percent (240 g a.i/ha) in liquid formulations and trichlorfon 4 percent (640 g a.i./ha) and trichlorfon 3 percent (480 g a.i./ha), in dry powder formulations. Evaluations of mortality were made 8 and 24 h after application of the products. Endosulfan and trichlorfon as powder were the most efficient for the control of the groups evaluated and were more selective towars spiders. Malathion was the less efficient insecticide and of moderate toxicity for the predators.
