A seleção de fungos entomopatogênicos é necessária para que se conheça a eficiência de diferentes isolados e se possa eleger o mais adequado para sua utilização em programas de controle biológico. Este trabalho teve por objetivo avaliar a eficiência dos isolados de Metarhizium anisopliae (Metchnikoff) Sorokin (UFGD 03, UFGD 05, UFGD 07 e UFGD 22), obtidos em Mato Grosso do Sul, em Diatraea saccharalis Fabricius. O ensaio experimental foi composto por um delineamento inteiramente casualizado com 5 tratamentos e 10 repetições, com 5 lagartas padronizadas por tamanho em cada repetição. De maneira geral, M. anisopliae afetou o ciclo biológico de D. saccharalis e o desenvolvimento desta praga é afetado pelo fungo. A percentagem de lagartas que empuparam variou de 64,00% a 88,60%. O tratamento com o isolado UFGD 03 apresentou maior percentagem de pupas mortas (68,00%) em relação aos demais isolados testados e quando comparado ao valor da testemunha (11,00%). A emergência dos adultos de D. saccharalis foi de 87,02% na testemunha. Nos tratamentos com o fungo, houve variação de 35,20%, 38,00%, 40,00%, 52,80% proporcionada pelos isolados UFGD 22, UFGD 03, UFGD 05 e UFGD 07, respectivamente. Isolates of Metarhizium anisopliae (Metchnikoff) Sorokin (Hypocreales: Clavicipitaceae) for the control of Diatraea saccharalis Fabricius (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) Abstract. The selection of entomopathogenic fungus that is a necessary to know the efficiency of different isolates and one can choose the most suitable for use in biological control programs. This study aimed to evaluate the efficiency of the isolates of Metarhizium anisopliae (Metchnikoff) Sorokin (UFGD 03, UFGD 05, UFGD UFGD 07 and UFGD 22), obtained in Mato Grosso do Sul on the Diatraea saccharalis Fabricius. The experimental trial consisted of a completely randomized design with five treatments and 10 repetitions with 5 caterpillars standardized size in each repetition. In general, M. anisopliae affects the life cycle of D. saccharalis and development of this pest is affected by the fungus. The percentage of caterpillars that pupae ranged from 64.00% to 88.60%.

Introduction: Immature forms of the antlion Myrmeleon brasiliensis (Neuroptera, Myrmeleontidae) build traps in dry sandy soil to capture prey. Objective: The aim of the present study was to investigate how the waterlogging of the soil due to rain affects the trap rebuilding and relocation behavior of M. brasiliensis of different sizes. Methods: The study was conducted between July and December 2019. Larvae M. brasiliensis were observed and collected from a forest reserve in the municipality of Aquidauana in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. Results: In the natural environment, most larvae rebuilt their traps in the same location seven days after the simulation of rain, with a smaller diameter than that observed prior to the simulation of rain. In the laboratory, the movements of M. brasiliensis larvae and rebuilding of the traps after the waterlogging of the soil was affected by body size. Larger larvae moved more and were more likely to rebuild their traps. Conclusions: The saturation of the soil affects the foraging of M. brasiliensis larvae, which are impeded from rebuilding their traps for a period. In situations of long periods of saturated soil, the mortality rate of the larvae is high and rebuilding of the traps occurs after the soil dries out, but with a smaller trap size. These data suggest that changes in the rainfall pattern can affect the population structure of M. brasiliensis larvae, with the selection of larger individuals in situations of more severe rains. In this process, the smaller larvae are more affected, as their foraging is impeded.

The aim of this study was to investigate the occurrence of Toxoplasma gondii and compare the results obtained in the Modified Agglutination Test (MAT), Polimerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and bioassay in mice. In order to accomplish this, 40 free-range chickens from eight farms in neighboring areas to the Pantanal in Nhecolândia, Mato Grosso do Sul, were euthanized and blood samples, brain and heart were collected. The occurrence of anti-T. gondii antibodies found in chickens was 67.5% (27 samples), considering as a cutoff point the dilution 1:5. Among the samples analyzed, 7 (25.9%) were positive in the dilution 1:5, 3 (11.1%) in 1:10, 2 (7.4%) in 1:20, 3 (11.1%) in 1:320, 1 ( 3.7%) in 1:640, 3 (11.1%) in 1:1280, 2 (7.4%) in 1:2560, 4 (14.8%) in 1:5120 and 2 (7.4%) in 1:10.240. From the mixture of tissue samples (brain and heart) from the chickens analyzed, 16 (40%) presented electrophoretic bands compatible with T. gondii by PCR (gene B1). In the comparison of techniques, 59.26% positivity in PCR was revealed among animals that were seropositive in MAT (cutoff 1:5). From 141 inoculated mice, six (4.44%) died of acute toxoplasmosis between 15 and 23 days after inoculation. Surviving mice were sacrificed at 74 days after inoculation, and a total of 28 cysts were found in the brains of 10 distinct groups. From the seropositive hens, 27 bioassays were performed and 11 (40.7%) isolates were obtained. A greater number of isolations happened in mice that were inoculated with tissues from chickens that had high titers for anti-T. gondii antibodies. Chronic infection in mice was observed in nine groups (33.3%) from five different properties. Among the surviving mice, 25.6% were positive for T. gondii in MAT (1:25). From mice positive in PCR, 87.5% were also positive in MAT. Among the PCR-negative mice, 5.2% were positive for T. gondii in MAT. It can be concluded through this study that the occurrence of infecton by T. gondii in the rural properties studied was high, that PCR directed to gene B1 does not confirm the viability of the parasite, but it can be used as a screening method for the selection of chickens infected by T. gondii, that the animals with titer greater than 10 must be prioritized for the selection of animals for bioassay, since for them, the chances of isolating the parasite are greater and that seroconversion in experimentally infected mice is not a good indicator for isolating the agent.

Abstract: The discussion about the governance of agricultural cooperatives has emphasized that a better allocation of property rights interferes with the competitiveness of this business model in the increasingly internationalized and deregulated market. This study seeks a greater deepening of the allocation of property rights in agricultural cooperatives in Mato Grosso do Sul/Brazil. The qualitative research was carried out in 4 agricultural cooperatives, two considered an emerging model and two traditional cooperatives. The investigation was conducted through the analysis of minutes of Ordinary General Meetings, statutes, and semi-structured interviews with managers and presidents. It was observed that the agricultural cooperatives, seen as an emerging model, where there is a selection of new members and act in a purchasing pool format, demonstrate an evolution concerning the traditional model by pointing to a greater professionalization of management, evidence of the separation between property and management. Moreover, the emerging model becomes more attractive than the traditional one by efficiently allocating the residual rights (earnings).

ABSTRACT Maize is widely cultivated in Brazil, and nitrogen is a major nutrient for its yield. Azospirillum brasiliense bacteria help in plant nutrient supply; however, maize-Azospirillum symbiosis is not very efficient and requires selection of genotypes with a more efficient association. Multivariate indexes facilitate selection using a single value, and GGE-biplot analysis enables the visualization of the genotype-environment interaction from this value. The present study aimed to select progenies that effectively associate with the bacteria and study the efficiency of progeny selection using a multivariate index observed in the GGE-biplot method. The experiments were conducted in two cities in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul. In a simple 16 × 16 lattice, 256 genotypes were evaluated in the presence and absence of diazotrophic bacteria. PH, SL, SD, FI, HGM, SS, and GY were measured for the construction of a selection index. Genotypes exhibited significant genotype–environment interactions for all evaluated traits, allowing their use in the selection index. High-yield genotypes were not those with the highest selection index values. The traits GY, SD, HGM, SS, SL, and PH contributed the most to the construction of the index. The no-till system may have contributed to the weaker response of maize inoculated with Azospirillum brasiliense. Genotype 96 had the highest values of the characteristics used to calculate the GISI, along with the stability between environments.

Due to the limited number of herbicides registered for the control of dicot weeds in cotton crops, ALS inhibitors have been used on an intensive and recurrent basis. Given that, cases of poor weed control have been described after application of these herbicides in the main cotton producing areas in Brazil, the purpose of the present work was to evaluate the occurrence of resistance to ALS herbicides in Amaranthus viridis biotypes from those areas. Dose-response curves were prepared after pre-emergence applications of trifloxysulfuron-sodium (0; 1.8; 3.7; 7.5; 15 and 30 g ha-1) and pyrithiobac-sodium (0; 35; 70; 140; 280 and 560 g ha-1), equivalent to 0, ¼, ½, 1, 2 and 4 times the recommended commercial rates. The selection of trifloxysulfuron-sodium resistant biotypes of A. viridis was confirmed in samples from Bahia (BA 7, BA 8, BA 9 and BA 11). However, no resistance to pyrithiobac-sodium was found for biotypes either from Bahia or from Mato Grosso do Sul.

Brazilian breeding programs usually aim at finding genotypes with early cycle and high grain yield. Thus, this study aimed to select early soybean lines with high grain yield for the Cerrado region. The experiment was carried out in the 2017-2018 season, in the Universidade Federal de Mato Grosso do Sul, Campus Chapadão do Sul, and consisted of an augmented blocks design, using 196 lines and ten controls, with five replications for each control. The experiment evaluated the traits plant height, number of days to flowering, and grain yield. After verifying the genetic variability for all traits, two selection methods were evaluated, the direct selection in each trait and the simultaneous selection (to decrease plant height and number of days to flowering and increase grain yield, using the Mulamba and Mock index). The latter considered two scenarios were when establishing the economic weight: the coefficient of genotypic variation (CVg) and arbitrary weights. Direct selection on the variables had unsatisfactory results. The Mulamba and Mock revealed unsatisfactory results when using CVg as the economic weight and satisfactory results when using arbitrary weights.
