Resistência de genótipos de maracujá a Epicauta atontaria (Germar, 1821) (Coleoptera, Meloidae) Não-preferência alimentar

BOICA JUNIOR, A.L.; F. M. LARA, J.C. OLIVEIRA, R. PESSO, 1996. Resistance of passoin-flower genotypes the Epicauta atomaria (Germar, 1821) (Coleoptera, Meloidae): No-preference for feeding. Bol. San. Veg. Plagas., 22 (1): 189192. The purpose of the present work was to evaluate the non-preference for feeding, of Epicauta atomaria per passion-flower genotypes in laboratory conditions. The results were as follows: the genotype most preferred for feeding was the Passiflora caerulea, whereas P. setacea, P. cincinnata, P. alata, P. coccinea, P. nitida, P. edulis, hybrid (P. alata2 x P. macrocarpa) and hybrid (P. edulis x P. alata) were the lesser preferred.
