According to him, the lack of control of Bemisia tabaci can cause losses between 10% and 70% in production, currently equivalent to about five to 30 sacks of soybeans per hectare.<\/p>\n<p>The recommendation is to monitor the presence of the pest from the early stages and carry out control measures when the first nymphs are found, in the range of two to three per leaflet. The pre-candle closure period of the crop also requires attention. \u201cIt makes a big difference for the producer to be prepared, with specific products on hand and to start treatment at the right time. Otherwise, they tend to lose a lot to the pest,\u201d adds Tomquelski.\n<\/p>\n<div id=\"agk_14000_pos_4_conteudo_mobile\" style=\"text-align: center;\" class=\"mb-4\">\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"agk_14000_pos_5_conteudo_desktop\" style=\"text-align: center;\" class=\"d-none d-lg-block mb-md-4\">\n<\/div>\n<p>Whiteflies can promote the development of sooty mold, which impairs photosynthesis, and can also transmit viruses that affect plant growth, grain weight, and harvest. &quot;This is a crucial issue for achieving efficiency and good results in controlling the pest,&quot; he indicates.<\/p>\n<p>Among the control alternatives evaluated is buprofezin, an active ingredient that acts on the young forms of the insect and has an efficacy close to 80%, according to Tomquelski. The researcher emphasizes that insecticide management should follow the dynamics of the pest, without depending on the fungicide application schedule.\n<\/p>\n<div id=\"agk_14000_pos_5_conteudo_mobile\" style=\"text-align: center;\" class=\"mb-4\">\n<\/div><\/div>\n<h6><em>THE <strong>MM Cereais<\/strong> works with the best grains on the market and also keeps you up to date with the latest news and analyses on agribusiness.<br \/>\nDon&#039;t forget to follow our social networks.<\/em><\/h6>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.agrolink.com.br\/noticias\/calor-e-seca-elevam-risco-de-praga-na-soja_518447.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Access News Source <\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A safra de soja 2026\/27 pode enfrentar maior press\u00e3o da mosca-branca, favorecida por condi\u00e7\u00f5es de&hellip;<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":27628,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[259],"tags":[244,248,255,249,254,250,246,247,256,245,253,252,251],"class_list":["post-27627","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-soja","tag-agrolink","tag-agrotoxicos","tag-artigos-tecnicos","tag-classificados","tag-colunistas","tag-compra","tag-cotacoes","tag-defensivos","tag-eventos","tag-noticias","tag-precos-agricolas","tag-previsao-do-tempo","tag-venda"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mmcereais.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27627","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mmcereais.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mmcereais.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mmcereais.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mmcereais.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=27627"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mmcereais.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27627\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mmcereais.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/27628"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mmcereais.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=27627"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mmcereais.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=27627"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mmcereais.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=27627"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
