ESTRATÉGIAS PARA O MANEJO DO PERCEVEJO DO ARROZ: EFICIÊNCIA DA COMBINAÇÃO SILTAC E ACETAMIPRIDO + FENPROPATRINA

Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the mechanical control of Siltac® and its combination with a sublethal dose of the insecticide acetamiprid + fenpropathrin (Bold®) on the rice grain stink bug (O. poecilus). The study evaluated the effectiveness of mechanical control promoted by Siltac® and its combination with a sublethal dose of the insecticide Bold® (acetamiprid + fenpropathrin) in the management of the stink bug Oebalus poecilus, an important pest of rice crops. The treatments were applied under controlled conditions, and the effects on insect mortality and behavior were monitored. The results indicated that the isolated use of Siltac® already promotes a relevant physical effect, and its combination with Bold® enhances the control efficiency, offering a viable alternative for integrated pest management (IPM) programs with less environmental impact.
