Abstract

Kale (Brassica oleracea L. var. Acephala), belonging to the Brassicaceae family, is a crop that has great economic value, however, the quality and productivity of kale cultivation can be affected due to the occurrence of population outbreaks. of pest insects. Among the insect pests associated with cabbage cultivation, Ascia monuste orseis (Latrielle, 1819) (Lepidoptera: Pieridae), popularly known as cabbage leafworm, stands out. Currently, the most usable way to reduce populations of this insect pest is through the periodic use of chemical insecticides, however chemical control brings harmful effects, such as environmental contamination and risk to human health. An alternative that has been the focus of research is the use of behavioral control, through the use of semiochemicals with the use of trap plants (insect/plant interaction). Therefore, this work aimed to evaluate the oviposition preference of A. monustes orseis among B. oleracea var. acephala and C. spinosa (mussambê), using trap plants.The research was carried out under field conditions, on the premises of the Agricultural and Forestry Entomology Laboratory (LEAF). The experiment took place between September and October 2024, evaluations were carried out every 3 days, totaling 10 evaluations. In total, there were 29 postures and 689 eggs over the 10 evaluations, with 28 postures and 677 eggs in mussambê alone. Therefore, mussambê possibly presents volatile compounds that act as allelochemicals in the attractiveness of A. monuste orseis, making this species an alternative host to be used as a trap plant in the management of the pest in B. oleracea var. acephala.
