Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate infestation of Anacampsis phytomiella Busck on different genotypes of the dwarf cashew, its impact on nut production, and the effect of rainfall on the production and infestation of A. phytomiella. The study was carried out during the 2014 to 2019 agricultural years, in an experimental plantation of dwarf cashew, in Pacajus, Ceará, Brazil. The IC 13/1, IC 13/2, IC 13/3 and IC 13/4 progeny were evaluated, with two commercial clones, CCP 76 and BRS 226, used as controls. The percentage of punctured nuts as well as the productivity of each genotype were estimated. The progeny/clones differed both in relation to the percentage of damaged nuts and in relation to productivity. For both variables, the IC 13/1 and IC 13/3 progeny had the highest values, while the CCP 76 clone presented the lowest mean values. There was a significant positive correlation between rainfall and nut infestation and production. A positive correlation was also seen between production and the percentage of infestation. The results would therefore suggest that the IC 13/1 and IC 13/3 progenies present characteristics related to a tolerance to attack by, and/or development of A. phytomiella.
