Zusammenfassung: | The aim of this study was to evaluate the spatial distribution pattern and aggregation radius of Metamasius hemipterus in an oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) plantation, in the state of Roraima, Brazil (RR). The experimental area is located in the town of São João da Baliza, RR, where 24 samples were taken from September 2013 to August 2014. The perimeter of the area was marked out using the global positioning system, with sampling grids of 45 x 45 m. Spatial distribution was determined by placing a bucket-type trap at each sampling point, using food (sugarcane) as bait, and values obtained for the variable, number of insects/ trap, together with the latitude and longitude. An analysis of variability and spatial dependence was carried out by incorporating geostatistical procedures based on spatial modelling techniques employing semivariograms. In addition, kriging maps were generated from counts of adult M. hemipterus taken in the field. The sampling grids proved to be suitable for characterising the spatial distribution in the field of M. hemipterus It was found that the spatial distribution of M. hemipterus is aggregated, with a spatial dependence described by the spherical model, forming patches of 78 to 199 m (range of the model). By means of the kriging maps, it could be seen that infestation first starts at the edges of the plantation, later spreading throughout the area. The results suggest that traps should be placed along the edges of the plantation, to collect and control the insect pests = Objetivou-se com o presente trabalho avaliar o padrão de distribuição espacial, bem como o raio de agregação de Metamasius hemipterus em plantio de dendê (Elaeis guineensis), no estado de Roraima. A área experimental está localizada no município de São João da Baliza, RR, onde foram realizadas 24 amostragens no período de setembro de 2013 a agosto de 2014. O perímetro da área foi demarcado com receptor de sistema de posicionamento global, e os grides de amostragem tiveram dimensão de 45 x 45 m. A distribuição espacial foi determinada colocando-se uma armadilha do tipo balde com atrativo alimentar (cana-de-açúcar), em cada ponto amostral, no qual obteve-se o valor da variável (número de insetos/armadilha) e as coordenadas (latitude e longitude). As análises da variabilidade e da dependência espacial foram feitas através de incorporação de procedimentos geoestatísticos baseados em técnicas de modelagem espacial por semivariogramas. Já os mapas de krigagem foram gera |
