          RESUMEN El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar la susceptibilidad in vitro de adultos del picudo negro (Cosmopolites sordidus Germar) a los juveniles infectivos (JI) de Heterorhabditis amazonenesis Andaló et al. (Cepa HC1). Los adultos colectados en campo con trampas Sándwich y de Disco Modificada, se mantuvieron en cuarentena en el laboratorio hasta su uso en los ensayos. Se prepararon suspensiones de juveniles infectivos (125, 250, 500, 2500, 5000 JI.ml-1) con las que se inocularon los insectos y se mantuvieron testigos sin inocular. Se evaluó la mortalidad desde las 12 horas hasta 21 días posteriores a la inoculación. Se determinaron los valores de Dosis letales (DL50, DL90) y Tiempos letales (DL50 y DL90) a través de Análisis Probi y el porcentaje de mortalidad a través del Análisis de Varianza. Por el efecto de los nematodos, los adultos de picudos muertos se ponen rígidos y duros, mantienen la coloración y encogen las patas. Las DL50 y DL90 determinadas fueron 1 872 y 6 061 JI/ml-1, respectivamente. Con la dosis de 5000 JI/ml-1 para el control del 50 y 90 % de una población de C. sordidus, los TLs estimados fueron 17 y 28 días, respectivamente. El mayor porcentaje de mortalidad fue 86,7 y a la dosis más alta, a los 21 días.

          ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to determine the in vitro susceptibility of weevil adults (Cosmopolites sordicus Germar) to infective juveniles (IJ) of Heterorhabditis amazonenesis Andaló et al. (Cuban strain HC1). The adults were collected in the field with sandwich and modified disc traps and kept in quarantine in the laboratory until their use in the tests. The insects were inoculated with suspensions of infective juveniles at the dosage of 125, 250, 500, 2500, and 5000 JI.ml-1. Controls without inoculation were included. Mortality was evaluated from 12 hours to 21 days after inoculation. Lethal dose values (LD50, DL90) and lethal times (LT50 and LT90) were determined through Probit Analysis and the percentage of mortality by performing an Variance Analysis. The weevil adults killed by the effect of the nematodes became stiff and hard, maintained coloration and shrank their legs. The LD 50 and LD 90 determined were 1872 and 6061 IJ / ml-1, respectively. The LT values estimated using the concentration of 5000 IJ / ml-1 for the control of 50 and 90 % of a population of C. sordidus were 17 and 28 days, respectively. The highest percentage of mortality was 86.7 using the highest dose at 21 days.

              Entomopathogenic nematodes and their interaction with chemical insecticide aiming at the control of banana weevil borer, Cosmopolites Sordidus Germar (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)

              The banana weevil borer (Cosmopolites sordidus) is the main pest of banana crops, causing significant losses in productivity, being recommended control by chemical insecticides which cause several environmental impacts. On the other hand, entomopathogenic nematodes can be an alternative to the pest control, mainly because of their habits. Thus, this study aimed at evaluating isolated entomopathogenic nematodes under laboratory conditions and also their interaction with a chemical insecticide (carbofuran), aiming at their use for the weevil borer control. Sixteen Sterinernematidae and Heterorhabditidae isolates were evaluated, applied over the banana tree pseudo stem (100 JIs/cm²) and they were compared to one another concerning mortality caused in adults individual of C. sordidus. The most infective isolates were subjected to in vivo multiplication at the host Galleria mellonella and interaction with the insecticide carbofuran, including in this case, viability and infectivity analysis of the entomopathogenic nematodes exposed to the product, as well as the effect of the insecticide on the symbiotic bacteria of the entomopathogenic nematodes. The experiments at this stage were conducted in completely randomized design and the data were subjected to ANOVA, with application of the Tukey test (p < 0.05). The most virulent isolates were IBCBn24 and IBCBn40 (respectively 33.3% and 36.7% of confirmed mortality), which also showed high multiplication in corpses. The insecticide did not affect the viability of the isolate, but it really harmed its infectivity, although it did not affect the development of the symbiotic bacterium.
