Resumo: | The Varroa destructor (Acari: Varroidae) acarus is considered a major bee pest worldwide. The contamination risk of honey and wax, as well as the development of resistance by this pest, have led to the need of alternative ways for replacing conventional acaricides. This study aimed at evaluating the effects of different essential oils on the mortality of the Apis mellifera honey bee and its parasite, the Varroa destructor acarus. The methodology consisted in maintaining separately groups formed by honey bees and acarus, in cages with essential oils at the concentrations of 10 µL, 50 µL and 200 µL, being each concentration an essay. Treatments with water, anise, rosemary, cinnamon, eucalyptus, clove and mint were performed. The experiment was conducted in randomized blocks, with six treatments and four replications. Bee and acarus specimens were observed for six hours, in order to quantify the mortality rate caused by treatments. The essential oils did not affect significantly the honey bees, however, the anise, cinnamon, eucalyptus and clove oils caused a significant mortality rate for the acarus. Concerning the 10 µL concentration, there was a mortality rate of 70% for anise and cinnamon, 77.5% for eucalyptus and 75% for clove. At the 50 µL concentration, a rate of 75% was observed for clove and cinnamon, 90% for anise and 92.5% for eucalyptus. For the 200 µL concentration, the mortality rates reached 92.5% for anise and eucalyptus, 52.5% for cinnamon and 87.5% for clove. Based on the mortality rates observed in the study, it is suggested that these substances can replace conventional acaricides. |

O risco de contaminação da cera e do mel, assim como o desenvolvimento de resistência desta praga, têm levado à busca por alternativas de controle que substituam os acaricidas convencionais. O presente trabalho objetivou determinar os efeitos de diferentes óleos essenciais na mortalidade de abelhas Apis mellifera e do ácaro Varroa destructor, parasita destes insetos. A metodologia consistiu em manter separadamente grupos formados por abelhas e ácaros, em gaiolas com óleos essenciais nas concentrações de 10 µL, 50 µL e 200 µL, sendo cada concentração um ensaio. Foram realizados tratamentos com água, anis, alecrim, canela, eucalipto, cravo e menta. O delineamento experimental foi em blocos casualizados, com seis tratamentos e quatro repetições. As abelhas e ácaros foram observados por seis horas, para a quantificação da mortalidade, em função dos tratamentos utilizados. Os óleos essenciais não afetaram as abelhas de forma significativa, contudo, os óleos de anis, canela, eucalipto e cravo causaram mortalidade significativa dos ácaros. Para a concentração de 10 µL, observou-se taxa de mortalidade de 70% para anis e canela, 77,5% para eucalipto e 75% para cravo. Na concentração de 50 µL, foram observados valores de 75% para cravo e canela, 90% para anis e 92,5% para eucalipto. Já na concentração de 200 µL, os valores de mortalidade foram de 92,5% para anis e eucalipto, 52,5% para canela e 87,5% para cravo. Com base na taxa de mortalidade observada, sugere-se que estas substâncias sejam usadas em substituição aos acaricidas convencionais.Escola de Agronomia - Universidade Federal de Goiás2012-09-26info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.ufg.br/pat/article/view/18567Pesquisa Agropecuária Tropical [Agricultural Research in the Tropics]; v. 42, n. 3, Jul./Sep. 2012; 317-322Pesquisa Agropecuária Tropical (Agricultural Research in the Tropics); v. 42, n. 3, jul./set. 2012; 317-322Pesquisa Agropecuária Tropical; v. 42, n. 3, jul./set. 2012; 317-3221983-4063reponame:Pesquisa Agropecuária Tropical (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Goiás (UFG)instacron:UFGporhttps://revistas.ufg.br/pat/article/view/18567/11785Copyright (c) 2020 Pesquisa Agropecuária Tropical (Agricultural Research in the Tropics)info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessVieira, Gustavo Haralampidou da CostaAndrade, Wagner da PazNascimento, Daniele Maria do2020-07-10T11:39:37Zoai:ojs.revistas.ufg.br:article/18567Revistahttps://revistas.ufg.br/patPUBhttps://revistas.ufg.br/pat/oaiaseleguini.pat@gmail.com||mgoes@agro.ufg.br1983-40631517-6398opendoar:2024-05-21T19:55:55.815652Pesquisa Agropecuária Tropical (Online) - Universidade Federal de Goiás (UFG)true |
