Abstract
The objective of this work was verify the influence of gamma radiation of Cobalt-60, in the avocado moth Stenoma catenifer Walsingham (Lepidoptera: Elachistidae). For this research, insects were irradiated in all phases of their life cycle with doses varying from 0 to 600 Gy and they were maintained at the temperature of 25 +/- 2 deg C, relative humidity of 70 +/- 10% and photofase of 14 h. The species was reared on natural diet, avocado seeds, variety Breda. According to the obtained results, was verified that the lethal dose of gamma radiation to S. catenifer larvae and pupae was of 300 Gy. The sterile dose for upcoming adults from irradiated S. catenifer larvae, was of 100 Gy; for adults coming from irradiated pupas was of 150 Gy and for irradiated adults was of 200 Gy. The use the gamma radiation as treatment quarentine of S. catenifer was efficient, should be treated them with doses able to promote the sterilization of insect, without committing your qualities physical-chemistries and sensorial of fruits. Therefore, is suggested the treatment with the dose of 50 Gy for fruits infested with eggs and 150 Gy for fruits infested with larvae and pupas of S. catenifer.

Para isso, foram irradiados insetos, em todas as fases do ciclo de vida, com doses que variaram de 0 a 600 Gy e mantidos à temperatura de 25 ± 2º C; umidade relativa de 70 ± 10% e fotofase de 14 h. A espécie, foi criada em dieta natural, ou seja, sementes de abacate, cultivar Breda. De acordo com os resultados obtidos, verificou-se que a dose letal de radiação gama para lagartas e pupas de S. catenifer foi de 300 Gy. A dose esterilizante para adultos provenientes de lagartas irradiadas foi de 100 Gy; para adultos provenientes de pupas irradiadas foi de 150 Gy e para adultos irradiados foi de 200 Gy. O uso da radiação gama como tratamento quarentenário de S. catenifer foi eficiente, devendo-se tratar os frutos com doses capazes de promover a esterilização do inseto, sem comprometer suas qualidades físico-quimicas e sensoriais. Assim, sugere-se o tratamento com a dose de 50 Gy para frutos infestados com ovos e 150 Gy para frutos infestados com lagartas e pupas de S. catenifer. Para a utilização da técnica do inseto estéril recomenda-se a irradiação de pupas e adultos com doses de 150 Gy e 200 Gy, respectivamente.}
