Protocolo de experimentação para avaliar a atratividade de novas formulações de iscas granuladas utilizadas no controle das formigas cortadeiras Acromyrmex spp. e Atta spp. (Hymenoptera: Formicidae: Myrmicinae: Attini) no campo

Abstract

We present hereafter a protocol to test attractiveness of new formulations of granulated baits used against leaf-cutting ants (Acromyrmex spp. and Atta spp.) in the field. Its purpose is to standardize the methodology, thus making possible further comparison of results wherever these tests are carried out
