The Brazilian Cerrado biome has undergone major changes, with the incorporation of new areas for agricultural production. While this can certainly provide for the worldwide growing need for agricultural products, especially food, care should be taken to prevent possible environmental degradation. Worldwide, mites of the cohort Gamasina constitute the most abundant and diverse group of soil predatory mites, usually considered important in maintaining the ecological balance of natural environments. Little is known about the abundance and diversity of Gamasina in the Cerrado. The objective of the present work was to evaluate the abundance and diversity of Gamasina in soils of natural vegetation and of agroecosystems in Cerrado areas of the northern Brazilian state of Tocantins. This is considered the first step in the determination of possible role of the local predators as biological control agents, and their potential for practical use locally and elsewhere. Soil samples were taken monthly between July 2015 and June 2016. In total, 1373 Gamasina representing 45 species of 24 genera and 9 families were collected. The most abundant Gamasina belonged to Rhodacaridae in areas of the natural vegetation and to Ascidae in the agroecosystems. Abundance and diversity were much higher in the rainy than in the dry season. Rhodacarids and ascids have not been used commercially for pest control, but investigations conducted so far suggest their potential as biological control agents. The confirmation of this possibility and the development of techniques that would allow their maintenance in agricultural areas require subsequent research efforts.

Inundative Biological Control

Biological control of plant pathogens utilises one microorganism to eliminate or reduce the disease caused by another Inundative biological control utilises naturallyoccurring microbial antagonists (biological control agents) that are isolated and reapplied in large numbers to suppress disease This strategy has been studied for over 40 years and a number of commercial products for fruit rot control have been developed Recent advances in techniques for monitoring microbial population dynamics such as denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) microarrays fluorescent in situ hybridisation (FISH) and the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) have made it easier to study an alternative strategy restorative biological control This aims to stimulate resident populations of biological control agents (BCAs) using benign interventions that do not harm microorganisms The use of these techniques is reviewed and their advantages and disadvantages are compared The relevance of these techniques to the development of restorative biological control and future research to lead to improved disease management of fruit rots are discussed

In the late 1970s, Brazilian peppertree, Schinus terebinthifolia Raddi (Sapindales: Anacardiaceae), was targeted for classical biological control in Florida because its invasive properties (see Host Plants) are consistent with escape from natural enemies (Williams 1954), and there are no native Schinus spp. in North America. The lack of native close relatives should minimize the risk of damage to non-target plants from introduced biological control agents (Pemberton 2000). [...]
