The Coffee Leaf Miner (Lepidoptera: Lyonetiidae: Leucoptera coffeella) is a specialist herbivore and major global pest of coffee plants. Current pest control strategies primarily rely on chemical pesticides which in turn negatively impact both human health and ecological stability. Additionally, ...

Este trabalho objetivou selecionar bacterias diazotroficas isoladas de bananeira (Musa spp.) e avaliar sua influencia no crescimento de mudas micropropagadas. Bacterias do tipo Herbaspirillum e relacionadas a Burkholderia cepacia foram inoculadas em plantulas de banana cv. Prata Ana e cv. Caipira...
