Authorship SCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

ABSTRACT

Alphitobius diaperinus, considered a secondary plague of stored grains, is commonly found in industrial aviaries excrements in some parts of the world. It causes economic damages in poultry houses in such a waydirectly, as well as indirectly. A survey of this tenebrionidae in a commercial grange situated in São João da Boa Vista city was carried out from January 2001 to December 2002, by using three distinct collect methods: soil trap, funnel of Berlese-Tullgren and fluctuation in water. Of the total of insects, 94.19% were collected by soil trap, 1.78% by funnel of Berlese-Tullgren and 4.01% by fluctuation in water. This coleopteran was found in all the 75 collectscarried out during the 24 months of experiment, and the soil trap the most sensible method (P < 0.05) for the capture of A. diaperinus.
