Lepidoptera pests collected in Eucalyptus urophylla (Myrtaceae) plantations during five years in Três Marias, State of Minas Gerais, Brazil

Lepidoptera pest species from eucalyptus were collected in Eucalyptus urophylla plantations in the region of Três Marias, State of Minas Gerais, Brazil, every 15 days from June 1989 to June 1994 with five light traps. Twelve primary and 15 secondary pest species were collected in the period with an...

description Lepidoptera pest species from eucalyptus were collected in Eucalyptus urophylla plantations in the region of Três Marias, State of Minas Gerais, Brazil, every 15 days from June 1989 to June 1994 with five light traps. Twelve primary and 15 secondary pest species were collected in the period with an average of 13 387 and 812 individuals per light trap, respectively. Most collected primary pest species were Stenalcidia grosica (Geometridae), Iridopsis subferaria (Geometridae), Eupseudosoma aberrans (Arctiidae) and Psorocampa denticulata (Notodontidae), totalizing for the study period an average of 5 450, 2 162, 2 436 and 1 458 individuals per light trap, respectively. Idalus admirabilis (Arctiidae) was the most collected secondary pest species, averaging 652 individuals/trap. Most primary pest species were collected during the dry season, from April to July, whereas most secondary pest species were collected during the rainy season, from January to March. These differences on seasonal occurrence between the two groups could be due to the fact that many secondary pest species of Eucalyptus in Brazil pupate in the soil, and they need humidity to complete its pupal stage<br>La ocurrencia de plagas primarias y secundarias del orden Lepidoptera fue estudiada desde junio de 1989 hasta junio de 1994 en plantaciones de Eucalyptus urophylla, localizadas en la region de Tres Marias, Estado de Minas Gerais, Brasil. Durante este periodo, las colectas de lepidópteros fueron realizadas quincenalmente usando cinco trampas de luz. Después de cinco años de recolección la media total por trampa fue de 13 387 especímenes de plagas primarias y 812 de plagas secundarias, pertenecientes a 12 y 15 especies diferentes respectivamente. Las cuatro especies de plagas primarias más comunes fueron Stenalcidia grosica (Geometridae), Iridopsis subferaria (Geometridae), Eupseudosoma aberrans (Arctiidae) e Psorocampa denticulata (Notodontidae) con media de 5 450; 2 162; 2 436 y 1 458 especímenes, respectivamente. A su vez, la plaga secundaria más comun entre las colectadas fue Idalus admirabilis (Arctiidae) con media de 652 especímenes. Por outro lado, durante la estación seca (marzo a julio) fue la época más adecuada para la presencia de plagas primarias, mientras que durante la época lluviosa (enero a marzo) fue la más apropriada para las plagas secundarias
