Abstract

‘Grancam COP 1277’ had the highest percentage of leaves and petioles attacked by L. invasa, whereas ‘Urograndis (seminal)’, ‘Uro­cam VM1’ and E. grandis had lower and statistically similar values. The attack by the wasp on C. citriodora was relatively minor compared with the above susceptible lines. Statistical differences were observed among similar proportions of attack between the oviposition prefer­ence on the 3 strata, leaves, and petioles of the assessed trees.

 

Sumário

‘Grancam COP 1277’ teve a maior porcentagem de folhas e pecíolos atacados por L. invasa, enquanto ‘Urograndis (seminal)’, ‘Urocam VM1’ e E. grandis apresentaram valores inferiores estatisticamente seme­lhantes. O ataque da vespa em C. citriodora foi relativamente menor em comparação com as linhagens suscetíveis citadas anteriormente. Foram observadas diferenças estatísticas em proporções semelhantes entre o local de ataque e preferência para oviposição dos três estratos em folhas e pecíolos das árvores avaliadas.
