Abstract
Leucoptera coffeella (Guérin-Méneville) (Lepidoptera: Lyonetiidae) is one of the major pests of coffee in South America, causing severe defoliation in plants. The problems involving chemical control and the risks of resistance evolution of the insect, justify the search for alternative methods for manage the species. Plants extracts appears to be a valuable tool for the management of L. coffeella, due to the potential of plants insecticidal properties of them being compatible with the integrated pest management. This study evaluated the effect of nine botanic aqueous extracts on the oviposition and biology of L. coffeella, under laboratory conditions. The extracts of Toona ciliata, Trichilia casaretti and Trichilia pallida decreased the oviposition rate of L. coffeella on coffee leaves. Along with Trichilia catigua, Chenopodium ambrosioides and Melia azedarach, these extracts were classified as deterrent to oviposition by a preference index and the C. ambrosioides, T. casaretti and T. ciliata extracts caused high egg mortality of L. coffeella. Extracts of seeds of A. indica and T. pallida affect negatively the development and survival of L. coffeella, reducing of mined area by the larva. These results elucidate the potential of these plants species for pest control and might be useful in integrated management programs for L. coffeella.
