SUMMARY:

The passion fruit, Passiflora L. spp. (Passifloraceae), is widely cultivated in tropical regions, including Brazil, which is one of the largest global producers and consumers. Its economic and social relevance is evident, contributing significantly to the generation of jobs and income. However, the population outbreak of insects, such as defoliating caterpillars, of species belonging to the Heliconiinae subfamily of butterflies, including Eueides isabella dianasa (Hübner) (Lepidoptera, Nymphalidae) presents significant phytosanitary challenges, causing considerable losses in production. Therefore, the development of an Ecological Pest Management (MEP) program is desirable for passion fruit cultivation, mostly carried out at family and medium-sized farming level, using diversified techniques, such as traps with attractive food baits, in addition to possibility of applying botanical and biological insecticides. In the literature, for the species E. isabella dianasa, there is a notable absence of studies in this context. Thus, the present project aims to investigate and adapt control techniques for E. isabella dianasa in passion fruit, contributing to the generation of knowledge base in the development of an efficient Ecological Pest Management (MEP) program. To this end, the effectiveness of different types of traps will be evaluated: (i) Van Someren-Rydon (VSR) and (ii) Bag trap, with different food baits: (i) bee honey + water and (ii) molasses of sugar cane + water, in attracting and capturing E. isabella dianasa butterflies in passion fruit plantations. Furthermore, the study will analyze the lethal and sublethal effects of botanical insecticides based on neem Azadirachta indica A. Juss. (Meliaceae) and biological insecticides based on Beauveria bassiana, Metrrhizium anisopliae and Bacillus thuringiensis var. kurstaki on E. isabella dianasa caterpillars, accessing mortality, biology and development data, through the construction of fertility life tables.
