Resumo: Oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) is very important in the Central and South American economies. Plants suffer from a devastating fungal disease known as “lethal decay” or “pudrición del cogollo”, in Spanish. Producer countries in Africa, Asia and tropical America have developed breeding programs that seek the tolerance of this disease by plants. The hybrids Elaeis guineensis x Elaeis oleifera (OxG) are resistant, but show physiological problems that affect commercial productivity. Natural pollination in these hybrids is low and manual pollination has high labor costs. The Coleoptera order is the most numerous and diverse natural pollinator, and the Elaeidobius genus has high efficiency and specificity to oil palm species. Elaeidobius kameronicus, Elaeidobius subvittatus and Mystrops costaricensis are the insects most commonly associated with oil palm inflorescences. Dynamics in insect populations change according to palm species and weather conditions. It is necessary to understand the insect behavior and population dynamics in OxG hybrids. Thus, recent studies on oil palm pollination, insect diversity and distribution in Latin America are discussed in this study.

Essa planta sofre com o ataque de uma doença fúngica devastadora conhecida como “lethal decay” ou “amarelecimento fatal”, em Português. Países produtores da África, Ásia e América tropical têm desenvolvido programas de melhoramento que buscam tolerância a essa doença pelas plantas. Os híbridos Elaeis guineensis x E. oleifera (OxG) são resistentes, no entanto, apresentam problemas fisiológicos que afetam a produtividade comercial. A polinização natural nesses híbridos é baixa e a manual tem custos de mão de obra muito elevados. A ordem Coleoptera é o polinizador natural mais numeroso e diverso, e o gênero Elaeidobius tem alta eficiência e especificidade para as espécies de palma azeiteira. Elaeidobius kameronicus, Elaeidobius subvittatus e Mystrops costaricensis são os insetos mais comumente associados às inflorescências dessa cultura. A dinâmica em populações desse inseto varia de acordo com as espécies de palma e condições climáticas. Faz-se necessário entender o comportamento desse inseto e a dinâmica de sua população nos híbridos OxG. Por isso, estudos recentes sobre a polinização da palma azeiteira, bem como a diversidade e distribuição do seu polinizador na América Latina, são discutidos neste estudo.Escola de Agronomia - Universidade Federal de Goiás2016-04-27info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionAvaliado por paresapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.ufg.br/pat/article/view/38196Pesquisa Agropecuária Tropical [Agricultural Research in the Tropics]; v. 46, n. 1, Jan./Mar. 2016; 102-110Pesquisa Agropecuária Tropical (Agricultural Research in the Tropics); v. 46, n. 1, jan./mar. 2016; 102-110Pesquisa Agropecuária Tropical; v. 46, n. 1, jan./mar. 2016; 102-1101983-4063reponame:Pesquisa Agropecuária Tropical (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Goiás (UFG)instacron:UFGenghttps://revistas.ufg.br/pat/article/view/38196/20895Meléndez, María RaquelPonce, William Patricioinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2020-07-13T17:50:50Zoai:ojs.revistas.ufg.br:article/38196Revistahttps://revistas.ufg.br/patPUBhttps://revistas.ufg.br/pat/oaiaseleguini.pat@gmail.com||mgoes@agro.ufg.br1983-40631517-6398opendoar:2024-05-21T19:56:10.672631Pesquisa Agropecuária Tropical (Online) - Universidade Federal de Goiás (UFG)true
