Engytatus Varians

The aim of this work is to report the unprecedented presence in Uruguay of Engytatus varians (Distant, 1884), a predator of several pests of Solanaceae, to present its main morphological features and some facts of its biology, and to provide a key for the identification of the Dicyphini species registered in the country. The presence of this predator in our region is of great interest for the development of future research works related to biological pest control and the potential interaction thereof with other predaceous mirids.

Until the current level of dependence on agricultural products in DKI-Jakarta from other areas increasing, estimated level of vegetable consumption / capita in urban -9.8 1.1% higher if compared to rural areas. Increased production and plant health conducted with crop rotation, intercropping, planting the right varieties, biological pest control. One of the environmentally-friendly technologies that can be used to improve the quantity and quality of the horticultural farming is very suitable for the conditions in Jakarta are the organic farming. The purpose of the study, assessing alternative technology packages organic farming leaf vegetable crops in the dry season, conducted from May to December 2008. This assessment activities carried out in Rawasari, Jakarta-Central, involving 6 farmer cooperators. As the indicator is a mustard plant. The design used was a randomized block design with 6 replications and 4 were tested technology package include: a) BPTP fertilizer (from urban waste)+Pest control with Nemasal (botanical pesticides), b) Fertilizer Dharmajaya (from beef cattle waste)+Pest control with sweeping (sweep with cloth), c) Fertilizer Pegadungan (from enceng gondok+stater)+Pest control with sweeping and d) Farmers fertilizer (chicken manure+Urea)+control OPT with Curacron/decis. The results of study of organic technology package on leaf vegetable crops (mustard) in DKI-Jakarta showed that, using fertilizer Dharmajaya (waste from the abattoir) with sweeping OPT can increase the growth and yield of mustard plants, equivalent if using fertilizer formulations BPTP (waste from urban waste + enrichmen). With the use of packet 1, it gives the highest profit, ie the B / C ratio: 3.8. While the B / C ratio is the lowest obtained in the use of packet 3, the gain B / C ratio is less than 1. It shows that, organic farming technologies provide considerable opportunities high in leaf vegetable farming, especially in the mustard plant in the dry season.

Viticultural practices and landscape composition are the main drivers influencing biological pest control in vineyards. Predatory mites, mainly phytoseiid (Phytoseiidae) and tydeoid mites (Tydeidae), are important to control phytophagous mites (Tetranychidae and Eriophyidae) on vines. In the absence of arthropod prey, pollen is an important food source for predatory mites. In 32 paired vineyards located in Burgenland/Austria, we examined the effect of landscape composition, management type (organic/integrated), pesticide use, and cover crop diversity of the inter-row on the densities of phytoseiid, tydeoid, and phytophagous mites. In addition, we sampled pollen on vine leaves. Typhlodromus pyri Scheuten was the main phytoseiid mite species and Tydeus goetzi Schruft the main tydeoid species. Interestingly, the area-related acute pesticide toxicity loading was higher in organic than in integrated vineyards. The densities of phytoseiid and tydeoid mites was higher in integrated vineyards and in vineyards with spontaneous vegetation. Their population also profited from an increased viticultural area at the landscape scale. Eriophyoid mite densities were extremely low across all vineyards and spider mites were absent. Biological pest control of phytophagous mites benefits from less intensive pesticide use and spontaneous vegetation cover in vineyard inter-rows, which should be considered in agri-environmental schemes.

The Impact

Crop monocultures encourage the multiplication and spread of pest insects on massive and uniform crop. Numerous studies have evaluated the impact of plant diversification on pests and beneficial arthropods population dynamics in agricultural ecosystems and provided some evidence that habitat manipulation techniques like intercropping can significantly influence pest control. This paper describes various potential options of habitat management and design that enhance ecological role of biodiversity in agroecosystems. The focus of this review is the application and mechanisms of biodiversity in agricultural systems to enhance pest management.
