          Abstract

          Abstract: The objective of this work was to evaluate the potential damage of the green-belly stink bug, Dichelops melacanthus, to corn in greenhouse and field conditions. Three trials were carried out. In the greenhouse, corn plants in the V1 stage were evaluated after each of them was infested with one insect in four developmental stages (nymphs of the third, fourth, and fifth instars and adults) during 14 days. In the field, corn plants in four developmental stages (V1, V3, V5, and V7) were infested inside cages with five adult stink bugs, also during 14 days. In another trial in the greenhouse, the same treatments of the field trial were conducted during 14 days, but with an infestation intensity of one bug per plant per pot. The control treatment was without infestation. In all trials, damage scores were attributed to the corn plants and the dry matter of the aerial part of the plants was determined. In the field, stem diameter and grain yield were also evaluated. Third-instar nymphs do not cause significant changes in the dry weight of the aerial part of the plant and in the damage scores, compared with the control treatment. Infestations by adult stink bugs cause more damage to corn plants in the V1 and V3 stages, both in field and greenhouse conditions.

          Resumo: O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o potencial de dano do percevejo barriga-verde, Dichelops melacanthus, em plantas de milho, em condições de casa de vegetação e campo. Foram realizados três ensaios. Na casa de vegetação, plantas de milho no estádio V1 foram avaliadas após cada uma ser infestada com um inseto em quatro estádios de desenvolvimento (ninfas de terceiro, quarto e quinto instar e adultos), durante 14 dias. No campo, plantas de milho em quatro estádios de desenvolvimento (V1, V3, V5 e V7) foram infestadas em gaiolas com cinco adultos do percevejo, também durante 14 dias. Em outro ensaio na casa de vegetação, os mesmos tratamentos do ensaio em campo foram conduzidos durante 14 dias, mas com intensidade de infestação de um percevejo por planta por vaso. O tratamento testemunha foi sem infestação. Em todos os ensaios, foram atribuídas notas de danos às plantas de milho e determinada a massa seca da parte aérea das plantas. No campo, também foram avaliados diâmetro do colmo e rendimento de grãos. As ninfas de terceiro instar não alteram significativamente o peso seco da parte aérea das plantas e as notas de danos, em comparação ao tratamento testemunha. Infestações de adultos do percevejo causam mais danos em plantas de milho nos estádios V1 e V3, tanto em condições de campo quanto de casa de vegetação.

              Impact of cultivation systems on Dichelops melacanthus (Dallas) (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) population and damage and its chemical control on wheat

              Results of field evaluations indicated that the neotropical pentatomid Dichelops melacanthus (Dallas) is associated with wheat, Triticum aestivum L. In the no-tillage cultivation system, adults and nymphs were mostly found on the soil, near the plant stems and underneath crop residues of the preceding summer crop, usually soybean, Glycine max (L.) Merrill, or corn, Zea mays L. Wheat grown under the conventional cultivation system showed minimal bug attack. D. melacanthus caused substantial damage to no-tillage wheat plants, particularly to seedlings. Bug attack reduces the number of seed heads of up to 34%. Seed yield was reduced in 31% due to the bugs' feeding, compared to plants free of damage. All developmental phases of the wheat plant were susceptible to the attack of D. melacanthus, and the greatest yield reduction occurred from stem elongation (26.5%) to milky grain stage (33.1%). Seed treatment using insecticides was efficient, greatly reducing the grain production losses.
