Line 1. Biology, ecology and management of plague insects and mites
Project Themes:
- Diversity integrated management of mites in annual and perennial crops;
- Ecology of agriculturally important insects in southern Brazil and Uruguay;
- Management of integrated plague insects in annuals crops and fruit trees in southern Brazil;
- Technologies to the integrated management of plagues of the vine and of the orcharding of clime temperature.
Line 2.Control and resistance of arthropods to insecticides
Project Themes:
- Bioecologia and the susceptibility of cultural plague to chemistry insecticides and biological with emphasis on Management Resistance to Insects (MRI);
- Resistance of arthropods plants and insecticides plants.
Line 3.Biologic control of plagues and selectivity of pesticides the natural enemy
Project Themes:
- Bioecologia and biological control of plague insects in fruit trees on temperate climate;
- SSelectivity of pesticides used on annuals and perennials crops to predators and parasitoids.
Line 4. Molecular biology of insects
Project Themes:
- Cell biotechnology applied to a prospect of biomolecules having targets like the nuclear receptors of the insects.
