Resumo: Several methodologies have been used in biological studies of mealybugs (Pseudococcidae) in the laboratory. The objective of this work was to compare three methodologies in order to establish a pattern for development studies. The development nymphal period and mortality of the citrus mealybug, Planococcus citri (Risso, 1813), was evaluated in PVC clip cages of 10 and 30 mm in diameter attached to leaves of coffee plants (Coffea arabica L. cv. Acaia Cerrado), and on leaf sections placed over an agar film layer. Forty mealybug eggs were individually placed on the substrate and evaluated daily. The data were submitted to analysis of variance followed by the Test of Tukey (p≤ 0.005). Differences were detected in citrus mealybug nymphal development period and mortality depending on the used methodology. The shortest period and the lowest mortality were obtained using foliar sections maintained in agar-water which appears to be a viable methodology for mealybug studies in the laboratory. The excessive insect manipulation seems to be the main negative factor in mealybug development when using clip cages fixed to plant leaves.

O desenvolvimento ninfal e a mortalidade da cochonilha Planococus citri (Risso, 1813) foram avaliados em gaiolas de PVC transparente de 10 mm e 30 mm de diâmetro fixadas em folhas de cafeeiro (Coffea arabica L. cv. Acaia Cerrado), e em secções foliares mantidas em ágar-água. Ovos da cochonilha foram individualizados sobre o substrato e seu desenvolvimento avaliado diariamente. Os dados foram submetidos à análise de variância, seguidos pelo Teste de Tukey a 5% de significância. Foram constatadas diferenças na duração do período ninfal e na mortalidade da cochonilha em função das três metodologias testadas. A menor duração do desenvolvimento e a menor mortalidade foram obtidas usando secções foliares mantidas em ágar-água, demonstrando que essa é uma metodologia viável para estudos de biologia de cochonilhas-farinhentas em laboratório. A excessiva manipulação do inseto parece ter sido o principal fator negativo no desenvolvimento da cochonilha, quando foram utilizadas gaiolas (10 e 30 mm de diâmetro) fixadas nas folhas das plantas de cafeeiro.Editora UFLA2008-12-27info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://coffeescience.ufla.br/index.php/Coffeescience/article/view/86Coffee Science - ISSN 1984-3909; Vol. 3 No. 2 (2008); 152-155Coffee Science; Vol. 3 Núm. 2 (2008); 152-155Coffee Science; v. 3 n. 2 (2008); 152-1551984-3909reponame:Coffee Science (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Lavras (UFLA)instacron:UFLAporenghttps://coffeescience.ufla.br/index.php/Coffeescience/article/view/86/174https://coffeescience.ufla.br/index.php/Coffeescience/article/view/86/175Copyright (c) 2008 Coffee Science - ISSN 1984-3909https://creativecommons.org/info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSanta-Cecília, Lenira Viana CostaPrado, ErnestoBorges, Cristina MachadoCorrea, Lílian Roberta BatistaSouza, Brígida2013-02-23T12:54:18Zoai:coffeescience.ufla.br:article/86Revistahttps://coffeescience.ufla.br/index.php/CoffeesciencePUBhttps://coffeescience.ufla.br/index.php/Coffeescience/oaicoffeescience@dag.ufla.br||coffeescience@dag.ufla.br|| alvaro-cozadi@hotmail.com1984-39091809-6875opendoar:2024-05-21T19:53:30.410819Coffee Science (Online) - Universidade Federal de Lavras (UFLA)true
