Study of the Parasitoids of Arthropods Pest in Brazil: A Mini Review

Abstract

As a result, populations of certain species of herbivores, such as insects and mites phytophagous, become numerically so high that they damage the crops to the point of reducing their productivity and, consequently, their economic income. The aim of the mini review is to carry out a study of the parasitoids of arthropods pest in Brazil. The research was carried out in studies related to the theme with emphasis on the quantitative and conceptual aspects of the genera, and species (Taxonomic groups). A bibliographic search was carried out that contained papers published from 1987 to June 2021. The mini review was prepared in Goiânia, Goiás from March to June 2021 using the Electronic Scientific Library Online (Scielo) and internet. Thus, biological control aims to reduce the population level of a species classified as a pest, keeping it below the level in which it is capable of causing economic harm.
